Jérémy, All,

> V2:
> * fix includes happening multiple times on host+target packages
> * change name of included makefiles from .mk to .smk (see commit for
>   details)
> 
> Note that the first patch might be usefull independently of the (more
> controversial) second patch. 
> 
> I am opened to changing the .smk to any pattern you suggest
> I am not sure where to fit this in the documentation. suggestions
> welcomed

As was discussed when we met in Lyon, and elsewhere on the list (sorry,
I can't dig the thread now), we already outlined a better solution,
which is to provide a generic way for a package to be extended or even
completely overriden from a br2-external tree.

I know it's been quite a long time, but I hope you do remember that
discussion, and hopefully you can also dig the thread on the list...

I've now marked that series as rejected.

Thanks.
