The other layers are identified by the collections that they define. The main use case is to avoid .bbappends without the corresponding .bb file in layers that want to modify other layers via .bbappends without introducing a hard dependency on those other layers. .bb files could also be handled via BBFILES_DYNAMIC. Entries in BBFILES_DYNAMIC must have the form <collection name>:<filename pattern>. Example usage: BBFILES_DYNAMIC += " \ clang-layer:${LAYERDIR}/bbappends/meta-clang/*/*/*.bbappend \ core:${LAYERDIR}/bbappends/openembedded-core/meta/*/*/*.bbappend \ " Parsing is aborted when invalid entries are found with an error message like this: ERROR: BBFILES_DYNAMIC entries must be of the form <collection name>:<filename pattern>, not: /work/my-layer/bbappends/meta-security-isafw/*/*/*.bbappend /work/my-layer/bbappends/openembedded-core/meta/*/*/*.bbappend Based on a patch by Richard Purdie. 76872 1 brian.avery 2017-09-14 22:20:07 +0000 adding interested parties. 76894 2 kristi 2017-09-15 16:15:50 +0000 Taking ownership of this one. 78730 3 kristi 2017-12-18 23:12:21 +0000 Brian - I've added this variable description to the glossary.
