[Ltib] pkg_map issues (was Re: (no subject))

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Aaron,

I just took a look at the code (I guess you mean from CVS?).  The 
pkg_map override stuff is in the ltib script around line 3331. It says 
(for entries that are not in the main pkg_map):

                # insert just before sysconfig (3rd from last)
                splice(@{$pcac->{mk_buildlist}}, -3, 0, $key);

So I would expect that the order of your new packages is the order in 
your config/_platform_/pkg_map file.  These will appear as the last 
packages in the build order before the sysconfig package.

If this is not the case, can you put in some debug and see if you can 
figure out what is going wrong.  Try changing the order and see what 
happens.  If this doesn't shed any light, then can you send your 
patches, or some subset test-case that the list can look at.

Regards, Stuart
