For the oe-core case, it seems like it might be reasonable for us to set pseudo up to, by default, get configured with preloaded things which match the expected configuration of base-passwd. If people then go overriding base-passwd in strange ways, they could break that, but we at least know what the default configuration would be, and could possibly even make base-passwd check whether pseudo's configuration matches its answers, and blow up if there's a mismatch there. -s -- Listen, get this. Nobody with a good compiler needs to be justified. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
