The discussion that I have seen here is that BR2_EXTERNAL tree is for the "proprietary" files, not just configuration files. Note: Here "proprietary" is used as a generalization for the portion of the overall build tree that is not required to be made public. And: This list has already had the discussion over how the .config files should be considered. I.E: Are they some of the "required public" files to meet the requirements of Section 3 of the GPLv2 license. Mike
