Subject: [PATCH 2/3] oelib: utils: Support opting out of all features
Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2026 09:38:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260403-default-features-2-v1-2-cba2a1e6224c@pbarker.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260403-default-features-2-v1-0-cba2a1e6224c@pbarker.dev>
If '*' is present as a separate token in DISTRO_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT or
MACHINE_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT, interpret this as opting out of all default
features.
If '*' is part of a larger word, this is not treated specially - 'FOO*'
will not trigger removal of all features.
This is implemented in set_difference() so that the behaviour can be
reused in other similar processing we may need to do in the future.
