adding pjsip to my openmoko overlay - part 2

since my last post i’ve made some progress with my bitbake recipe to build the pjsip project for openmoko.
the first problem i ran into with the install was bitbake complaining that files from a .svn subdirectory from the source tree couldn’t be installed because of a permission problem. those files shouldn’t be installed anyway [...]

cool stuff - quilt for patch management

openmoko & neo1973
