[yocto] DISTRO_FEATURES and shared SSTATE

[seth bollinger]

Hello All,

How does yocto know which package version to choose for an image if the 
package can be altered (compilation difference, or perhaps config 
alteration, etc.) by a DISTRO_FEATURE?

For instance, if I make a change to sysvinit-inittab/inittab based on a 
DISTRO_FEATURE, I can have multiple versions of sysvinit-inittab, but 
only one shipping package, right?  If I'm building two different images 
that have that DISTRO_FEATURE set differently, won't one of the builds 
have the incorrect sysvinit-inittab package installed?

I believe PAM support would be another good example.

Thanks,

Seth
