Firstly, "bitbake-layers show-recipes" will list all recipes available in your current configuration, the versions available and which layers they are provided by. You can also specify a search keyword on the command line. Additionally, "bitbake -s" will list all available "targets" (recipes, plus any BBCLASSEXTENDed variants, e.g. zlib-native) and the latest and current preferred versions. Lastly, if you want to search all available recipes in community layers, there is now an online metadata index available: http://layers.openembedded.org/ Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
