* siteinfo split between powerpc-common & powerpc-linux @ 2011-07-21 12:17 Kumar Gala 2011-07-21 12:31 ` Leon Woestenberg 2011-07-21 16:48 ` Khem Raj 0 siblings, 2 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Kumar Gala @ 2011-07-21 12:17 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Patches and discussions about the oe-core layer Why do we have a split between powerpc-common & powerpc-linux? I assume powerpc-linux is used and picked up for powerpc-linux-uclibc in addition to normal powerpc-linux. I'm looking at adding powerpc64 support and powerpc-common is all kinda of broken for it. I'd like to just merge powerpc-common & powerpc-linux (as powerpc-linux 32-bit) for now and start a new powerpc-common that refactors 32/64 commonalities. Unless someone says otherwise about the meaning of these files. - k ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

You could add powerpc64-common and leave 32bit alone.
