Description Stoicescu Cornel 2014-01-09 14:08:26 UTC 
At the moment, we can only control on what event an event handler is triggered. Some event handlers need to be triggered in a certain order and this can be accomplished similar to how extra tasks are ordered:

Example from recipes-devtools/gcc/libgcc.inc:

addtask multilib_install after do_install before do_package do_populate_sysroot

Meta data is now deterministic but still a good idea.
