I'm slightly bemused as to why it makes a difference (for this purpose) whether the manpages are compressed or not, and I would have thought that we would generally want to ship manpages as compressed for reasons of disk-space efficiency. Can you explain where exactly that conflict comes from and why uncompressing the man pages resolves it? > +inherit autotools binconfig multilib_header > >[...] > > + oe_multilib_header curses.h This change isn't mentioned in either the short or long commit messages and, as I mentioned in my previous email, it looks like it will cause some complications with the LICENSE. p.
