Subject: oe/types: Allow boolean to accept an existing boolean
X-Git-Tag: lucaceresoli/bug-15201-perf-libtraceevent-missing~17581
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=147f5a665fe5073027d92e4acac631f15f08f79f;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

oe/types: Allow boolean to accept an existing boolean

Exception: TypeError: boolean accepts a string, not '<class 'bool'>

is a bit annoying if you pass in True/False. Tweak the function
to make it forgive that situation.
