For the Future: Besides doing a basic build, we need to have some real unit tests for bitbake and the poky infrastructure, I guess I need to turn this into a Testing feature request for 1.0 (look for it soon). >> b) They fix important bugs that the user can easily run into >> or that make the project look bad.

I looked at all of the patches and with the exception of one or two, they mostly seem like good ones. I will accept these if Josh/Mark/Saul give us a +1 on their review& testing. > If there was 1 or 2 changes, I would be much happier, but there are almost a dozen changes, yes mostly individually they are OK, I am still reviewing them all, and have not started any testing with them yet. I agree with Dave that there are a couple that I am more nervous about the pseudo/fakeroot as we have had so much trouble in the past, yes I know this will make things better, but what else will crop up? >> Cheers, >> >> Richard >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> yocto mailing list >> yocto@yoctoproject.org >> https://lists.pokylinux.org/listinfo/yocto > _______________________________________________ > yocto mailing list > yocto@yoctoproject.org > https://lists.pokylinux.org/listinfo/yocto
