Sorry for copying it here to continue the discussion. Koen said: > I'm against adding such 'USE flags' to OE, they basically make QA impossible. > If people want a different mplayer, they are free to make an 'mplayer-nox' or > 'mplayer-nosdl' recipe to fill their needs. But on the other hand it would make overlays, such as Arago, as well as OE itself, much cleaner and reduce the recipe creep. As of the rebuild issue when featureset in the variable changes, I was thinking about storing a hash of variable's value, in addition to the standard version and revision numbers, should trigger an automatic rebuild. Similar to bumping up a PR, but without modifying the recipe. Any thoughts? -- Denys
