Some of the usages when checking for paths might have become obsolete, but at least for distinguishing between machine and image base name parameters it is still relevant: def check_args(self): ... elif re.search(r'-image-|-image$', arg): # Lazy rootfs self.rootfs = arg elif arg.startswith('ovmf'): self.ovmf_bios.append(arg) else: # At last, assume is it the MACHINE if (not unknown_arg) or unknown_arg == arg: unknown_arg = arg else: raise Exception("Can't handle two unknown args: %s % s" % (unknown_arg, arg)) When removing the "if re.search(r'-image-|-image$', arg)" clause one gets an error for: $ runqemu core-image-minimal ext4 qemux86 runqemu - ERROR - Can't handle two unknown args: core-image-minimal qemux86 runqemu - ERROR - Try 'runqemu help' on how to use it -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
