[Ltib] host side questions

[Aaron Wegner]

Hi Stuart.  I was wondering if there is a way to add a package to the host
side without modifying the following files.

ltib/config/platform/host/ltib.preconfig
ltib/config/platform/host/packages.lkc
ltib/config/platform/host/pkg_map

Also, is it possible to have a host-side spec file that is not in
dist/lfs-5.1?  I've got my build down to only having to put one new
directory into the LTIB, which is for my board, config/platform/my-board. 
I like that because I can update the LTIB as much as I want and not have
to touch the files I introduced.  I guess I was thinking it might be nice
to be able to add additional stuff to the host side by putting files in a
separate area like I do for the target side with the files

config/platform/my-board/{*.spec,packages.lkc,pkg_map,defconfig}

I noticed that when configuring the host-side the LTIB will not check the
my-board directory for spec files.  I guess that makes sense since the
LTIB builds the host packages before you even select your platform, but
maybe there could be an area to put non-standard host side mods.  Also, it
seems like

./ltib --hostcf -m listpkgsbuild

returns the packages of the target side.  I have to issue the rpm command
to view the packages installed on the host side.


Thanks,

Aaron
