I see no point in removing stuff > just to boost someones commit stats under the moniker "clean up" I would like to second this (following my always-conservative attitude to dropping stuff (without good reason) on which someone worked hard previously (and someone can in the future)). To elaborate, I hope that we'll revamp OE support for using external toolchains for building single packages, because it seems that people have got a stereotype that OE is for building entire system from scratch (at that would be too limiting - why I'd use top-notch solution to build a whole distro while revert to using adhoc tools to build packages for 3rd-party systems?) For example, I just pushed openwrt-sdk distro config, which allows to build packages against OpenWRT SDK. Due to OpenWRT dependencies, it may be required to build older than the latest versions of some packages. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
