A user could well inherit just archiver rather than the individual useful classes, and not realize it will do nothing. In my distro, I'm doing something this: # More sane usability for the archiver classes ARCHIVER_MODE ?= "none" ARCHIVER_MODE[type] = "choice" ARCHIVER_MODE[choices] = "none original patched configured" ARCHIVER_CLASS = "${@'archive-${ARCHIVER_MODE}-source' \ if ARCHIVER_MODE != 'none' else ''}" INHERIT += "${ARCHIVER_CLASS}" 21540 1 Xiaofeng.yan 2012-05-23 01:46:28 +0000 Hi Christopher Larson, This is good way to point to the type for archiving. I will learn your ideas and add them to appropriate place. thanks your good suggestion.
