Can someone tell me why this isn't the default behavior of bitbake now? (I'm honestly not trolling :-) There must be some good reason to allow bitbake to be used outside of a build directory.

Why not bitbake? -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America =============================
