Subject: base.bbclass: add support for machine configuration fallback
X-Git-Tag: Release-2010-05/1~2974^2~6^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6633c4c95a713bc365f5d87acc4a94621ed50034;p=openembedded.git

base.bbclass: add support for machine configuration fallback

To avoid duplicating a lot of configurations for similar machines we
needed to introduce a new concept of machine fallback.

It basically means that when a list is set in MACHINE_FALLBACK
variable, following is done:

 - those machines are added to the override list, after the machine
   itself;

 - if any of these machines matches, the package is dealt as machine
   specific one.
