I agree that you're not trying to share the build output between
different projects, as was the "project feature" that existed before
2009 did. That said, I still don't get the benefit of this PROJECT_DIR
thing when you can simply set you Linux configuration file, Linux
patches, U-Boot patches and so on to point to the correct location with
the existing Buildroot.
I don't see which problems it is solving, and to me, it only creates
yet another option to configure Buildroot that will only confuse
users.
But again, as I said in my earlier e-mails: this is just _my_ voice,
and I am not the only Buildroot developer or contributor, and I am not
the maintainer. So my voice is just my voice, nothing more.
