I am trying to get rid of the problem, that packages "disappear" when the "depends on" are invalid. There are also a lot of broken packages, and you decide that you do not want a certain package, since it is broken, then it takes a long time to find out what is causing package to be built This approach gives you better finetuning capabilities. Note that once you have done your configuration, you can: $ make saveconfig and your project file will be saved. If you make the "local" directory a symbolic link to a project directory, then you can download a new trunk, and do make BOARD= getconfig and you have all your settings back. > If I want to have asterisk, I go for asterisk, just to find out I > have to enable packages in other places.
