</div>By testing oe-core + layer with X.<br>
<br>
Everybody else is using oe-core + couple of other layers, why do we need<br>
to make oe-core testable with X _in single_ layer?<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that oe-core should be tested with 30 layers like my<br>
world build, but why cannot AB have special build which builds<br>
<br>
oe-core + meta-xorg + meta-gnome<br>
<br>
and runs some runtime QA tests on that and then some other build with<br>
<br>
oe-core + meta-python<br>
<br>
for piglit tests?<br>
<br>
Is it limitation of AB scripts for builds that they cannot fetch other<br>
layers so they need everything glued together with combo-layer?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I full agree here; this would be more in line of what we communicate to our users and layers being a good and nice way to modularize the system... </div>
