It would be quite nice, but I understand the complexities if every FILE has to be search for in all the collections. The current behaviour is, as I understand: If no PREFERED_VERSION, select highest version of a package, else PREFERED_VERSION. Iterate through collections by priority, select the collection that provides the "package-version". Use that collection as the base directory for accessing FILES. > You could also do it the openmoko way by defining extra overrides and > using those in FILESPATH. > Thanks, will look into this as well, Regards, Leon Woestenberg.
