Funnily enough we were just having a discussion about this on irc. My personal top two least favourite diagnostics are: a) "bitbake -b nonexistent-file" gives ten lines of so of python exception traceback and then prints "MultipleMatches". b) "bitbake -b recipe.bb", with a recipe that skips (due to an inCOMPATIBLE_MACHINE or whatever) gives the traditional ten lines of traceback spew and then prints "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable". This is with bitbake 1.13.0. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
