           Summary: support building 3rd party feeds
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: thebohemian at gmx.net


the problem: I am a vendor wanting to provide packages that are not part of a
OE-built distribution. I want to build these packages and let them end up in a
feed. This feed should then contain my packages and their dependencies.

However dependencies that are already provided by the distribution's feed
should not end up in my vendor feed.

Example: I want to provide "foo". Foo depends in libbaz and gtk+. libbaz is not
in Angstrom, gtk+ is. After issuing 'bitbake angstrom-plus-feed' some target
directory should contain foo, libbaz (and the IPKG Packages* files).

If OE developers are interested in such a feature I would offer to implement
this. However I am asking for comments. :)
