Please do check these things when you update > SRC_URI. Noted, thanks. Do we maintain a list of things we'd like people to check, and how to do it, when making updates to recipes? checkpkg isn't available by default (had to add distrodata to INHERITS) and it took me a while to realise the results are written to a file I have to check. If we expect people to run these checks before submitting updates we'd best make it as easy as possible to know what the checks are and how to run them. The only reference I can find to checkpkg on the OE and YP wikis is here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/How_do_I#Q:_How_do_I_ensure_that_I_a m_using_the_latest_upstream_version_of_the_package.3F Joshua
