We've discussed this in the OE TSC and the agreement was that the toolchain bits currently in the meta-oe layer itself will be moved out to a separate layer. > Image will boot, but most things are broken, no X, no network, ...

I agree, but there are others who think it should be switchable on a per-image basis. I don't think it's going to be long before that's impossible however. > I guess the only way I'll be able to test this in Poky, if at all, > will be to only import the midori recipes and its dependencies, which > there seem to be many. That's not an unreasonable approach for now. However we do really want to tidy up meta-oe such that it doesn't do surprising things when you enable it. Hopefully we will get a chance to make progress on this over the next few months. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
