[meta-virtualization] Dev86-native dependency

[Sathees Balya]

Hi,

Yes. Your understanding is correct. I would like to drop the "dev86-native" from DEPENDS and add it only for x86 architecture. However I am not familiar with the overrides mechanism.


Regards,
Sathees

    I am not sure I am following you correctly. But I believe what you are
    looking for is to drop "dev86-native" from DEPENDS, where it is
    currently listed, and instead list it in something like

    DEPENDS_x86 = "dev86-native"

    in the xen.inc file. ie. make use of the overrides mechanism to only
    require it for x86 arch. Am I close?
