What I don't understand is why so many recipes are being rebuilt when I change. I tried examining the dependencies with -g -u depexp but I'm unable to see why it's happening. I'm building core-image-base (+perl) from a recent Poky checkout. I notice that a number of packages that don't seem to be related to perl (or even hardly to each other) are rebuilt, e.g. avahi, openssl and others. How can I find out what's going on here? BTW, I'm using this [testing] layer for this effort (related to my perl question from last week): https://github.com/GaryThomas/meta-amanda.git -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
