    Concept ACK. @skmcontrib Could you emphasize that the host’s packages are used when they are not built due to the NO_* variable set?

    Also this line could be moved up to be just under the NO_UPNP line.

    Can you please elaborate a bit further what this means? What is compiled using hosts libraries? And which host libraries, which packages are replaced by host packages? When would one want to use this option?

  16. skmcontrib commented at 10:36 am on August 9, 2020: none
    @hebasto The earlier squash I did merged all my previous commits into a single commit. So now there are two commits - a squashed commit (e8c3e2bef) and also a merge commit(e4946cbcf). I’m having some trouble squashing these two. Maybe I don’t understand this fully. Any pointers? Also as suggested in the contributing guidelines I have enabled “allow edits from maintainers”. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help.

    @hebasto The earlier squash I did merged all my previous commits into a single commit. So now there are two commits - a squashed commit (e8c3e2b) and also a merge commit(e4946cb).

    You could start from this GitHub guide.

    Your working branch in your forked repo should contain no merge commits. Only commits with your changes, that are based on “master” branch at some point, are allowed. The merge commit is made by a maintainer when your working branch is merged into this repo “master” branch.

    “allow edits from maintainers” allows maintainers to edit PR’s title and posts. It is a contributor’s burden to keep his own working branch in ready-to-merge state.

    hebasto commented at 11:27 am on August 9, 2020:

    Two notes to consider:

    • NO_PACKAGE is not the only way to miss package in depends (see #18051, my previous comment was a bit misleading, sorry for that)
    • in general, building with depends is used not only for cross-compilation
    0<dd>Packages that are missed in dependencies (due to `NO_*` option or
1build script logic) are searched for among the host system packages using

    @hebasto Hopefully I got it right this time. Sorry for being dense and the delay. Appreciate your help and the good learning.
