So this patch is changing the meaning of the "thumb" override in oe-core, right? Is that really a good idea? Also, I'm not quite sure I understand what the "thumb" tuning would be useful for when this patch is applied. You seem to have removed most of the code which checks for "thumb" in TUNE_FEATURES which seems to leave it not doing anything very much. Can you clarify what exactly is the problem that this patch is solving, what the old and new semantics of the overrides and tune flags are, and why it's an improvement? p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
