Dependencies ?

Hi all,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this.  I'm in the process of updating from yocto kirkstone branches to yocto scarthgap branches and ran into an issue that brought up a question about yocto/bitbake dependencies.  My normal work flow for updating is to start with an empty directory tree, clone all of the layers, checkout the specific branch (scarthgap)  for each and do a fresh build of core-image-minimal.  That all went smoothly except for a couple of recipes in the meta-intel layer.  After messing around with it a bit and not finding a solution on my own I posted a message in the meta-intel forum.  The response was that the recipes I was trying to build are not compatible with the version of clang from the scarthgap branch of meta-clang and that I needed to use the mickeldore branch of meta-clang.  So here are my questions, first, is there some way to find out if a recipe depends on specific versions of items?  Second, is there a way for yocto/bitbake to inform the user when there is a specific version dependency issue instead of the recipe simply failing to build?  Thanks and mostly just curious.
