Perhaps I spoke too soon. There might not be a direct restriction on machine<br>
names; but opkg does restrict characters allowed in package names, and for<br>
meta-environment the machine name ends up as part of the package name. You<br>
could probably hack around it if you felt the need to, but the simplest thing<br>
would be to just change the machine name to be all lower-case.<br>
<br>

<br>
opkg itself doesn't seem to have this limitation, I just created and installed a<br>
test package named 'A' perfectly fine.<br>
<br>
The Debian policy says:<br>
Package names (both source and binary, see Package, Section 5.6.7) must<br>
consist only of lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus<br>
(-) signs, and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and<br>
must start with an alphanumeric character.<br>
<br>
So I think the restriction is there to keep generated packages<br>
compatible with dpkg-deb.<br>
<br>
We could consider removing the restriction if that compatibility isn't<br>
necessary.<div class=""><div id=":2w8" class="" tabindex="0"><img class="" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif"><br>===========================================================================<br><br></div><div id=":2w8" class="" tabindex="0">I think we should fix the SDK generation that has a problem with caps instead of dis-allowing it completely. <br><br></div><div id=":2w8" class="" tabindex="0">Michael Gloff<br></div></div> </div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM, Baptiste DURAND <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baptiste.durand@gmail.com" target="_blank">baptiste.durand@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">MACHINE variable should not contain uppercase characters.<br>

Having uppercase in Machine name can lead to this kind of error : (here Machine is set to nuc-E3815)<br>
