So it is still considered an error when two recipes produce the same file? One (IMHO valid) use-case for allowing this are configuration packages. You could have a /etc/motd packaged in foo-motd and another in bar-motd with different content, and then build different images where a suitable motd config package is added. With a single sysroot, one had to introduce alternatives, which is more complicated and introduces unnecessary symlinks in read-only images. With RSS, it is possible more easily. Having said that, the error report generated when files overlap in the same real sysroot definitely needs to be improved. -- 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
