This was prompted by a discussion on IRC (http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-September/126569.html). Packages from PACKAGES that turn out empty (i.e. where none of the patterns in FILES_<pkg> match any files installed by [do_install]) are not generated, unless generation is forced through [ALLOW_EMPTY].

Thanks, Scott 66457 2 ulfalizer 2016-09-22 04:53:04 +0000 Maybe Packages in the PACKAGES list that are empty... would be a bit clearer. Other than that, it looks good to me.

Other than that, it looks good to me. On a second thought, the original version doesn't sound too bad if you read the entire entry from the beginning, so I'm fine with it. :) Cheers, Ulf 66533 4 srifenbark 2016-09-22 23:21:32 +0000 Ok, I think no changes are needed. So, setting to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done". Thanks, Scott
