I feel it would be useful to point this out to readers, possible at the variable definition in the Variables Glossary? 12294 1 gary 2011-03-04 04:20:26 +0000 It would also be good to mention that this is fully overriding. For example, if you have these recipe selections: layer-A/package/recipe_1.0.bb layer-B/package/recipe_1.2.bb If layer-A is higher priority than layer-B, recipe_1.0 will be used. To me, at least, this is not intuitive. It can be even more confusing with bbappend files. I had an example like this: layer-A/package/recipe_1.0.bbappend layer-B/package/recipe_1.0.bb layer-B/package/recipe_1.2.bb Again, if layer-A is higher priority, version 1.0 was built. I'm not sure what would be the result if the layer-B version 1.0 was deprecated and removed. All in all, just confusing. I ended up keeping all my layers the same priority as the core layers I extend upon. 13534 2 josh 2011-05-02 21:10:08 +0000 I think you can argue for both ways but we definitely need to document that, thanks for pointing that out Gary. 13535 3 143 josh 2011-05-02 21:33:22 +0000 Created attachment 143 Attempt at updating the BBFILE_PRIORITY variables documentation Here's an attempt at enhancing the documentation for this variable, it could probably do with a writers touch. 13577 4 srifenbark 2011-05-04 16:57:15 +0000 Sent some feedback to Josh on the wording of the fix. Once we bottom out I will update the bug with the final wording. 13646 5 srifenbark 2011-05-09 12:04:21 +0000 I have updated the description of BBFILE_PRIORITY in the Poky Reference Manual. I worked with Tom Zanussi on creating the final version of the text. The change has been commited and pushed to the yocto-docs repo and when merged with the Poky repo by either Saul or RP the bug can be closed. 13741 6 josh 2011-05-12 15:17:27 +0000 Hey Scott, Isn't that my input rather than Tom's? 13765 7 srifenbark 2011-05-12 17:05:46 +0000 I mistakenly had Tom Zanussi mentioned as the person I worked with on this text. It was actually Joshua Lock. Sorry about that. 13781 8 sgw 2011-05-13 10:13:14 +0000 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=c7c40a3571dbb5977dea5daafaf5c4e413a9c199 14898 9 srifenbark 2011-07-22 07:49:54 +0000 Fixes are in 143 2011-05-02 21:33:22 +0000 2011-05-02 21:33:22 +0000 Attempt at updating the BBFILE_PRIORITY variables documentation 0001-documentation-poky-ref-manual-ref-variables-more-det.patch text/plain 1710 josh RnJvbSBjOTI2OGY2YjFlZThkZGEzYTcyM2VlYWE4Zjg4ODIwMzhiZjdjYmZmIE1vbiBTZXAgMTcg MDA6MDA6MDAgMjAwMQpNZXNzYWdlLUlkOiA8YzkyNjhmNmIxZWU4ZGRhM2E3MjNlZWFhOGY4ODgy MDM4YmY3Y2JmZi4xMzA0Mzk3MDcwLmdpdC5qb3NoQGxpbnV4LmludGVsLmNvbT4KSW4tUmVwbHkt VG86IDxjb3Zlci4xMzA0Mzk3MDcwLmdpdC5qb3NoQGxpbnV4LmludGVsLmNvbT4KUmVmZXJlbmNl czogPGNvdmVyLjEzMDQzOTcwNzAuZ2l0Lmpvc2hAbGludXguaW50ZWwuY29tPgpGcm9tOiBKb3No dWEgTG9jayA8am9zaEBsaW51eC5pbnRlbC5jb20+CkRhdGU6IE1vbiwgMiBNYXkgMjAxMSAyMToy ODo0OCAtMDcwMApTdWJqZWN0OiBbUEFUQ0ggMS8xXSBkb2N1bWVudGF0aW9uL3Bva3ktcmVmLW1h bnVhbC9yZWYtdmFyaWFibGVzOiBtb3JlCiBkZXRhaWxzIG9uIEJCRklMRV9QUklPUklUWQoKVXBk YXRlIHRoZSB2YXJpYWJsZXMgcmVmZXJlbmNlIHRvIGZ1cnRoZXIgZXhwbGFpbiBCQkZJTEVfUFJJ T1JJVFk6CiogaGlnaGVyIGlzIGJldHRlcgoqIGhpZ2hlciBwcmlvcml0eSBsb3dlciBQVidzIHdp bgoKU2lnbmVkLW9mZi1ieTogSm9zaHVhIExvY2sgPGpvc2hAbGludXguaW50ZWwuY29tPgotLS0K IGRvY3VtZW50YXRpb24vcG9reS1yZWYtbWFudWFsL3JlZi12YXJpYWJsZXMueG1sIHwgICAgNSAr KysrLQogMSBmaWxlcyBjaGFuZ2VkLCA0IGluc2VydGlvbnMoKyksIDEgZGVsZXRpb25zKC0pCgpk aWZmIC0tZ2l0IGEvZG9jdW1lbnRhdGlvbi9wb2t5LXJlZi1tYW51YWwvcmVmLXZhcmlhYmxlcy54 bWwgYi9kb2N1bWVudGF0aW9uL3Bva3ktcmVmLW1hbnVhbC9yZWYtdmFyaWFibGVzLnhtbAppbmRl eCAyZTNkYmI2Li5kYzA2NjRmIDEwMDY0NAotLS0gYS9kb2N1bWVudGF0aW9uL3Bva3ktcmVmLW1h bnVhbC9yZWYtdmFyaWFibGVzLnhtbAorKysgYi9kb2N1bWVudGF0aW9uL3Bva3ktcmVmLW1hbnVh bC9yZWYtdmFyaWFibGVzLnhtbApAQCAtODksNyArODksMTAgQEAKICAgICAgICAgICAgIDxnbG9z c2RlZj4KICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8cGFyYT5Bc3NpZ25zIGRpZmZlcmVudCBwcmlvcml0aWVz IHRvIHJlY2lwZSBmaWxlcyBpbiBkaWZmZXJlbnQgbGF5ZXJzLiAKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAg ICAgVGhpcyB2YXJpYWJsZSBpcyB1c2VmdWwgaW4gc2l0dWF0aW9ucyB3aGVyZSB0aGUgc2FtZSBw YWNrYWdlIG1pZ2h0IGFwcGVhciBpbiBtdWx0aXBsZSBsYXllcnMuCi0gICAgICAgICAgICAgICAg ICAgIEl0IGFsbG93cyB5b3UgdG8gY2hvb3NlIHdoYXQgdGFrZXMgcHJlY2VkZW5jZS48L3BhcmE+ CisgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIEl0IGFsbG93cyB5b3UgdG8gY2hvb3NlIHdoYXQgdGFrZXMg cHJlY2VkZW5jZS4gSGlnaGVyCisgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIHByaW9yaXR5IHZhbHVlcyB3 aW4gZXZlbiBpZiBhIGhpZ2hlcgorICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8Z2xvc3N0ZXJtPjxsaW5r IGxpbmtlbmQ9J3Zhci1QVic+UFY8L2xpbms+PC9nbG9zc3Rlcm0+IGV4aXN0cyBpbiB0aGUgbG93 ZXIgcHJpb3JpdHkgbGF5ZXJzLgorICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICBOb3RlOiB0aGUgY29yZSBt ZXRhZGF0YSBkZWZhdWx0cyB0byBhIEJCRklMRV9QUklPUklUWSBvZiA1LjwvcGFyYT4KICAgICAg ICAgICAgIDwvZ2xvc3NkZWY+CiAgICAgICAgIDwvZ2xvc3NlbnRyeT4KIAotLSAKMS43LjQuNAoK
