At some point I don't think this is going to be realistic - what happens if
you have something in meta-oe that's too generic to be put elsewhere and yet
has a dependency on something in meta-multimedia or meta-networking? It will
come up at some point fairly soon.
I can drop the iw patch from this set for the sake of the rest of the patches
if you object to moving it, but we do need to do something about this in the
near future.
For now, I did check and at the moment according to "bitbake-layers show-
cross-depends" (thank you Robert) we have only vlc depending on fluidsynth
which is in meta-multimedia, but vlc ought to be moved to meta-multimedia
itself anyway.
Cheers,
Paul
