[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 12/14] target/sdk: Fix handling of already built packages

[Daniel Dickinson]

Actually, in keeping with your comment about rather having a fork of the 
source in SDKs, I'm thinking it would be better to rework all of this, 
so that SDK's automatically ship the source, and figure out a better 
mechanism for managing the recording of what is already built (probably 
just a plain text file) which can be easily 'overridden' by removing the 
record (or taking an approach similar to feeds.conf.default, only with a 
generated file instead of one in the source tree).

I hadn't thought of the issue of people shipping binary-only SDK's and 
think that having the SDK have a copy of the source (but that doesn't 
get in the way easy updates to the source) would be preferrable; my 
object with the SDK was to build only what's needed, when it's needed, 
rather than as means to ship binaries.  I was thinking more in terms of 
internal common code, but see how it could easily get abused, in it's 
current form.

Regards,

Daniel
