Version 2:
* One recipe having another recipe in DEPENDS does not by itself add any
runtime dependencies between the packages produced by the two recipes.
However, as explained in the [RDEPENDS] glossary entry, runtime
dependencies will often be added automatically, meaning [DEPENDS] alone is
sufficient for most recipes.
Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-DEPENDS for the additional bullet in the note. Thanks, Scott Looks good to me. Thanks, Ulf thanks, Setting to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done." Scott |
Hello, I'd put this between the two existing notes. It should hopefully avoid another common misunderstand and solidify what DEPENDS does. * One recipe having another recipe in DEPENDS does not by itself add any runtime dependencies between the packages produced by the recipes. However, as explained in the [RDEPENDS] glossary entry, runtime dependencies will often be created automatically, meaning [DEPENDS] alone is sufficient for most recipes. Thanks, Ulf
