By testing oe-core + layer with X. Everybody else is using oe-core + couple of other layers, why do we need to make oe-core testable with X _in single_ layer? I'm not saying that oe-core should be tested with 30 layers like my world build, but why cannot AB have special build which builds oe-core + meta-xorg + meta-gnome and runs some runtime QA tests on that and then some other build with oe-core + meta-python for piglit tests? Is it limitation of AB scripts for builds that they cannot fetch other layers so they need everything glued together with combo-layer? -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: [email protected]
