Thanks. Randy 90961 2 koansoftware 2021-07-20 07:19:31 +0000 For a newcomer, the description might be daunting. It would be better to describe better perhaps with an example of what types of substitutions are needed. 91057 3 randy.macleod 2021-07-29 15:36:30 +0000 Chris can you please provide some examples and guidance? 91227 4 randy.macleod 2021-08-19 15:09:23 +0000 Chris won't have time to work on this. 96935 5 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:46 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 97219 6 loc.nguyen.wt 2023-11-08 03:58:55 +0000 Hi all, I'm a newcomer and would like to support for this bugfix. In my understanding, we will need to replace ":prepend/:append" to "+=/=+/.=/=.". Any suspicious case should be reported to this Bugzilla. Is my understanding correct? 97270 7 randy.macleod 2023-11-16 20:09:08 +0000 Loc, Welcome to Yocto! As was mentioned earlier, some cases of this are required so this will need careful auditing so only do a few files at a time before sending for review to the list. Arbitrarily, you could start with: poky.git on master ❯ rg :append meta/recipes-support/a* | wc -l 12 ❯ rg :prepend meta/recipes-support/a* | wc -l 3 No additional bugzilla issues need to be opened unless someone requests one in the email list review. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" and sometimes you start out in the wrong direction! ;-) Make a small change, do some testing, send it out for review and iterate. Thanks. 98509 8 nayakksanjay 2024-03-17 16:01:17 +0000 Hi Randy Can you please confirm is this issue is still valid? if yes, Then i would like to work on this.. Thanks for the inspiring quote! Thanks Sanjay:) 98534 9 randy.macleod 2024-03-19 18:18:12 +0000 As I was saying before, start small and simple and learn from feedback. Ross Burton was saying that he'd be careful about what appends get changed so why don't you do 2 or 3 of the simpler appends from the list below, test them locally and send it to the list for review and autobuilder testing. ❯ rg "DEPEND.*:append =" meta/recipes* | rg -v "@" meta/recipes-extended/baremetal-example/baremetal-helloworld_git.bb:DEPENDS:qemux86:append = " nasm-native" meta/recipes-extended/less/less_643.bb:RDEPENDS:${PN}-ptest:append = " perl-module-getopt-std perl-module-cwd locale-base-en-us" meta/recipes-graphics/waffle/waffle_1.7.2.bb:DEPENDS:append = " python3" meta/recipes-gnome/librsvg/librsvg_2.57.1.bb:BASEDEPENDS:append = " cargo-native" meta/recipes-support/ptest-runner/ptest-runner_2.4.3.bb:RDEPENDS:${PN}:append = " pstree" meta/recipes-support/libgpg-error/libgpg-error_1.48.bb:RDEPENDS:${PN}-ptest:append = " make bash" meta/recipes-bsp/grub/grub-efi_2.12.bb:DEPENDS:append = " grub-native" meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit_3.04.bb:DEPENDS:append = " update-rc.d-native base-passwd virtual/crypt" meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts_1.0.bb:DEPENDS:append = " update-rc.d-native" I've assigned the bug to Sanjay but feel free to co-ordinate the work with others if it turns out that there are lots of changes to review and tests rather than just mechanically search and replace. 99637 10 randy.macleod 2024-09-10 18:56:49 +0000 Sanjay, do you plan to work on this enhancement this fall? If so please move it to 5.2-M2. Thanks, Randy 106795 11 randy.macleod 2026-09-10 15:15:00 +0000 Sanjay moved to unassigned, Take back if you work on it.
