What do you think about that? I don't really have a strong feeling on this. I believe we started using BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_, just because we are inside package/ so it kind of makes sense to also use the BR2_PACKAGE_ namespace. That being said, it is true that the wording BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_ seems to indicate that it is a specific package that has something, not that the system has a whole has some given feature. As I said, I don't feel really strongly about this. I don't think the current BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_ is too bad either. > >> > for virtual packages.
