    <thetext>Hello,

I suggest adding the following Note/Caution to the RDEPENDS glossary entry, right after &quot;thus, the RDEPENDS variable has the ${PN}-dev package name as part of the variable.&quot; I&apos;ve seen a few people run into this.


Note/Caution

RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev includes ${PN} by default (this default is set in
meta/conf/bitbake.conf). Be careful not to accidentally remove ${PN} when
modifying RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev. Use e.g. += instead of = to be safe.</thetext>

    <thetext>Ulf, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-RDEPENDS for the new note.  I did a bit of re-writing.  Check it out.

Thanks, 
Scott</thetext>
