Problem with host packages
Hello,
I have been working on updating the xorg components and as part of that I need to update mesa3d. Newer version of this require that you have python libxml2 support.
Currently for host-libxml2 python support is disabled. I can change that so that it builds python support but that then means you have to build host-python any time you want host-libxml2. When building for the target we are able to see what is selected for the target and conditionally change what options are used. Is there an equivalent mechanism for doing this with host packages?
Thanks
Will

Not really as those don't get added to TARGETS, but only in the various *_DEPENDENCIES variables. Perhaps we should add them to TARGETS.
