I understand what you’re saying, but if this script is supposed to be generally useful for OE/Yocto, not just Poky, then the poky repository shouldn’t be its definitive location. Further, patches against oe-core should be submitted against the oe-core repository, not the poky repository, and anything poky specific should go to the poky list. -- Christopher Larson clarson at kergoth dot com Founder - BitBake, OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus Maintainer - Tslib Senior Software Engineer, Mentor Graphics
