Maybe the assumption is that MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED will only be set from the machine config and DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED will only be set from the distro config. Don't they work even in that case? > I think the a better way of setting MACHINE or DISTRO_FEATURES would be to > directly append/remove using overrides. Yes, of course. If you want to control machine or distro features directly that that's the way it should be done. The BACKFILL infrastructure is there for a very special case - to try to keep a consistent behaviour for users who set fixed values for machine or distro features and don't keep those definitions up to date with changes in oe-core. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
