[bitbake-devel] questions about bitbake world

Hello experts,
In the following code:
def buildWorldTargetList(self):
...
for f in self.status.possible_world:
terminal = True
pn = self.status.pkg_fn[f]
for p in pn_provides[pn]:
if p.startswith('virtual/'):
parselog.debug(2, "World build skipping %s due to %s
provider starting with virtual/", f, p)
terminal = False
break
...
Does it mean that if a recipe contains:
PROVIDES = "virtual/something"
Then it would not be built until a pkg depends on it? Why we design it in this
way, please?

Thanks
Robert
