If you want these configuration files, you must create them yourself: " So I must create auto.conf manually! Still one paragraph bellow is specified we do not create this file by our hands: " auto.conf: This file is not hand-created. Rather, the file is usually created and written to by an autobuilder. The settings put into the file are typically the same as you would find in the conf/local.conf or the conf/site.conf files. " Please clarify this in manual. Paul, could you please help? 57928 1 srifenbark 2016-01-18 17:43:45 +0000 Hi, Yes - that is confusing. I updated the wording to what I think is really going on. Paul should check it over. Here is the section in the ref-manual: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#user-configuration. Let me know. Thanks, Scott 58803 2 srifenbark 2016-02-09 22:45:55 +0000 let this run for another month then will set to RESOLVED if no further feedback. Scott 58809 3 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2016-02-10 08:02:50 +0000 I am ok with the modifications. Should we assign it to Paul? 58849 4 srifenbark 2016-02-10 18:50:56 +0000 Thanks Bogdan, Paul is on the CC list for this bug. I will wait a while to see if he has anything to say about the fix. Scott 58854 5 bluelightning 2016-02-10 20:33:28 +0000 I'm fairly happy with the new content. The note box does duplicate the later statement about auto.conf / site.conf containing the same sorts of settings as local.conf though, but that's not a major issue. The only thing possibly worth adding is a mention of the order in which these files are read - which is site.conf, auto.conf and then local.conf. The normal rules about the different types of assignment statement apply, but for example if you have VARIABLE = "value1" in auto.conf and VARIABLE = "value2" in local.conf, VARIABLE's value will be "value2" since local.conf gets parsed later. 59029 6 srifenbark 2016-02-15 16:22:15 +0000 See the last paragraph in http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#user-configuration and let me know if that addresses this extra point. Scott 60706 7 srifenbark 2016-04-01 18:18:25 +0000 Hi, No further comments on this. I am setting to RESOLVED and marking the doc flag to "done." Thanks, Scott 61211 8 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2016-04-14 14:29:24 +0000 This is resolved now.
