When you say close do you mean layer/site/ or layer/recipes-foo/app/something/ ? I saw oe-core had some sort of hook for site files in yet another place but I also couldn't find anything using it (in addition to the sitecache stuff). > Keeping the information as local to recipe as possible helps with maintenance > IMHO.

Agreed, I'm toying with tossing all of the files out and seeing what's needed now (since also there's useless stuff, and probably a few more bugs lurking). -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
