I suggest adding the following note to the end of the PROVIDES glossary entry to explain what it means: Note { There is a corresponding mechanism for virtual runtime dependencies (packages), but it does not depend on any special functionality beyond ordinary variable assignments. For example, VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager refers to the package of the component that manages the /dev directory. Setting the "preferred provider" for runtime dependencies is as simple as e.g. the following assignment in a configuration file: VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = "udev" } Cheers, Ulf 64842 1 srifenbark 2016-08-03 16:55:54 +0000 Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-PROVIDES for the updated description.
