[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/1] cooker.py: Remove explicit build targets from the ignored list

[Peter Seebach]

If something is in ASSUMED_PROVIDED, and a user tries to build it
explicitly, Nothing Happens. Bitbake just says it ran 0 out of 0
tasks. No diagnostics or explanations are offered.

In practice, the right thing is probably to assume that explicit
targets are intentional. So far as I can tell, cooker.buildTargets
is called only from the command line or from command.py, and both
cases seem to be explicit user actions.
