"make" was only kept in the development tools because it was needed to be able to *run* the uClibc test suite on the target. This has been changed a few days ago, so I believe we don't really need "make" anymore as a target package. > If the policy is to provide build system packages only for the host, > I'm fine with it. Yes, please provide them only as host packages. However, do you have a target package that would use them? Without this, the host packages are orphan and never tested by anything, which isn't good. So could you submit ninja/python-meson together with at least one target package that uses them? Thanks!
