[bitbake-devel] RFC: Override expansion - changing the behaviour

[Richard Purdie]

To follow up on this, what kind of cleanup would this and some other
tweaks to bitbake allow?

This is my proof of concept:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=rpurdie/temp3&id=1ed909e8b9bac6ed88ffbbe6a100a42c4289f498

which cleans up native.bbclass and nativesdk.bbclass to be much cleaner
code with less strange side effects and hoops to jump through.

The main changes to bitbake after the original patch I posted were:

a) Add handlers before any data finalisation
b) Add a new "pre finalise" event

Cheers,

Richard
