Within the build tools there appears to be a construct for a single package, but with options that are selectable (for conditional compile or otherwise). Maybe dnsmasq Makefile should be redone for this method. I am not sure if it fixes the dependency issues. However, should multiple packages provide the "same-different" files is a good question. _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
