</div>I disagree and I feel quite strongly about this. OE-Core is not a<br>
distro. The whole idea was that OE-Core should build with sane defaults<br>
without any distro set. This is a dummy placeholder value and it really<br>
does mean to say that no distro is set.<br>
<br>
We did put a value into the DISTRO_VERSION field so you could tell what<br>
was being used but again its a placeholder.<br>
<br>
So in my view "nodistro" is clearer about what is meant.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
