Subject: oe.types: add 'path' type
X-Git-Tag: 2015-4~5396
X-Git-Url: https://code.ossystems.io/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a598242197312fa6d43179c283da2d0873de2919;p=openembedded-core.git

oe.types: add 'path' type

- path normalization ('normalize' flag, defaults to enabled)
- existence verification for paths we know should exist ('mustexist' flag)
- supports clean handling of relative paths ('relativeto' flag)
