Current implementation of expandVarref has the following undesired characteristics: - ref = '${%s}' % variable This line discriminates this type of variable reference ${@d.getVar('LAYERDIR')}" which causes them to always resolve to None - referrervalue = self.getVar(key, False) if referrervalue and isinstance(referrervalue, str) and ref in referrervalue: self.setVar(key, referrervalue.replace(ref, value)) This block (the serVar() call in particular) has the effect, that variables which reference LAYERDIR lose their append/prepend/remove data. During the call to expandVarref('LAYERDIR'), whichever append/prepend/remove apply at the moment are used by getVar(), and then they are all dropped by serVar(), including the ones whose OVERRIDES would come from layers parsed later
