When distributing a preconfigured setup to customers hob creates a lot of problems since it allows people to change distro wide settings like gplv3 recipes. The kiosk mode would read local.conf and configure all hob settings from there and hide all the knobs that would break binary compatibility.
Hi, Can you please provide an use case for this feature? Thanks!
Apart from the one mentioned in the description already? Is it that time of year already where people need to boost their bugzilla stats again?
I would be very grateful if we could keep comments in Hob bugs polite and civil. Thank you.
Hi Koen, In order to better understand how we can implement this enhancement, we need a use case. It is alright to do our own investigation on this one (which we will do), but we are asking for your help to clarify this one, because maybe you saw specific areas that will cause trouble in Hob if a user selects or not GPLv3 recipes. The use case that you have exposed in not very common, because Hob still is at the moment a tool to get started easily with a customized embedded Linux distro. Hence, we are asking for your help to clarify the use case. Regards, Cristian Iorga

we've tidy up hob and configuration dramatically, please verify the case still exist...
