The proposal is to have an argument/environment variable to pass to the oe-init-build-env* script with a file to append to the local.conf. This gives you the possibility to either add or override current local.conf variables. examples: $ . ./oe-init-build-env builddir /path/to/append-file.conf or $ CONFAPPEND=/path/to/appends.conf . ./oe-init-build-env builddir 60526 1 richard.purdie 2016-03-30 10:26:34 +0000 I guess I'm wondering why we wouldn't just use the -R and -r options to bitbake which allow the appending or prepending of a configuration file? oe-init-build-env is meant to be simple and I really would prefer not to complicate that script any further. What is the problem we're trying to solve here? 60556 2 mariano.lopez 2016-03-30 21:57:04 +0000 The -R or -r bitbake options are good, but is a bit of a pain tospecify the file every time bitbake is run. What we were thinking was when using oe-init-build-env script have an env var with the file name and append the file name to local.conf (at the time the build dir is created). The bitbake case would be to have the env var and bitbake could append the config, instead of using -r or -R. 60585 3 eduard.bartosh 2016-03-31 11:42:04 +0000 Bitbake has a set environment variables which set values for command line options, e.g. BITBAKE_UI(-u), BBSERVER(--remote-server), BBTOKEN(--token) etc. What do you think about adding two more env variables(BBREAD, BBPOSTREAD?) to set values for -r and -R ? 60618 4 benjamin.esquivel 2016-03-31 17:38:32 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > Bitbake has a set environment variables which set values for command line > options, e.g. BITBAKE_UI(-u), BBSERVER(--remote-server), BBTOKEN(--token) > etc. > > What do you think about adding two more env variables(BBREAD, BBPOSTREAD?) > to set values for -r and -R ? I'd say that adding such environment variables for -r/-R should work fine for the intended purpose. Richard? 61191 5 richard.purdie 2016-04-14 08:46:04 +0000 I guess we could do this if people would find it really useful, I'd prefer names like BBPRECONF and BBPOSTCONF though. 61420 6 eduard.bartosh 2016-04-19 16:51:57 +0000 Fix has been sent for review: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/bitbake-devel/2016-April/007349.html 62014 7 eduard.bartosh 2016-05-06 10:24:17 +0000 The fix has been merged to master: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=21b314d4d1e5b8fbeb4cc57006f0a110f0b3aa8f 62721 8 mariano.lopez 2016-06-07 20:34:24 +0000 The functionality is still missing; there is a typo in the var used. I sent a patch to correct that: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/bitbake-devel/2016-June/007549.html 62875 9 mariano.lopez 2016-06-09 21:19:48 +0000 This has been solved in commit: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=40e789d1fee7f0df2d23230fff38325119ad2935
