If they're bugfixes that are not in any way machine-specific they really do not belong in the BSP. They're fine for distro layers, although I would strongly encourage people to be pushing these fixes up to OE-core unless they are specific to some distro policy. FYI, for machine specific changes in bbappends you can still make use of a machine override to ensure that the change only applies when building for that specific machine. With a lot of variable changes that could get messy though :/ Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
