Thanks for the notification. Its great that those recipes are shipped<br>
now on the oe-core layer.<br>
<br>
But I don't want to remove those recipes from meta-webkit, even if they<br>
are shipped now there.<br>
<br>
That recipes are an essential part of meta-webkit, so I want to be able<br>
to raise the version or change them without depending on oe-core.<br>
For example: sometimes we need to use older versions of yocto, but we<br>
still want to use the last stable version of wpe/libwpe/wpebackend-fdo.<br>
So I find pretty useful to have all the core WPE related recipes on the<br>
meta-webkit layer and not depend on whatever oe-core ships.<br>
<br>
There should be no conflict between the recipes as long as the name used<br>
for them its the same, bitbake should simply pick the last version by<br>
default.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The version compare actually only matters for recipes in the same layer; if multiple layers provide the same recipe, the priority of the layers is what determines which one gets chosen (even if that means an older version in a higher priority layer would be chosen over a newer version in a lower priority layer).</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, you should be fine because meta-webkit has a priority of 7 and oe-core is priority 5, so it will always choose the meta-webkit version, if that layer is present.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
