Nico, I know your use case and I'm definitely not pushing on the hwpack story specifically (even more for your project). In other words, I don't think linaro specific approach is perfect and I don't want to maintain the status quo (that's the goal of hwpackv4). I want to move forward to improve the situation and be more efficient but I'm not convinced the native approach is perfect either. As I said previously, there's pros/cons for both solutions. I'm glad there's interest on the topic and see you at Connect to have a constructive discussion :) _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
