Certainly not, I was amazed at how few problems there were. I suspect the nastiest form of problems is the renamed webkit pkgconfig file, which means people have to manually delete WebKit*pc to get their build to continue. And looking back at how the stable branch has been doing I can say that OE really *needs* .dev since the act of posting a diff for review is already too much for most people, let alone review another. That is why Holger and I want to properly use things like insane.bbclass, sepukku.bbclass and testlab.bbclass to take the gruntwork out of regression tracking and QA. Sadly we both are short on time to work on it properly nowadays :( regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFH1m8zMkyGM64RGpERAgPHAJ0aO5E11ts66PXloJU1cLRKK/mVxACffZdo CTACXRqLVPuG1WQtVvFsTuM= =fOqt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
