It has been suggested that these problems are resolved in 1.4, but as it stands
- the oe recipe is still at 1.2.12
- we have newer recipes: 1.3.8: added on sep 11, 2008, 1.4.3 added on
april 8, 2010, and 1.4.4 added sep 24, 2010; all these have DP -1
- no distro is pinning a version
Hence the testing for all distro's with sanity enabled should have
these QA errors.

Maybe we should move the recipe forward.

Guess this also illustrate that having unmaintained recipes is not the
best idea in the world.
Also I feel it is quite pointless to have a recipe with DP = -1 around
for two years especially if there are newer versions of the recipe as
well.

I also noticed Koen added 1.4.6 earlier today to meta-oe. Guess it
would be nice to keep oe and meta-oe in sync until we moved (or have
oe as the leading repo).

Just my two cents.

Frans.
