Description Robert P. J. Day 2025-10-30 11:59:06 UTC 
The "Unpacking Code" section -- https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/new-recipe.html#unpacking-code -- should discuss the UNPACKDIR variable, so readers understand what is going on behind the scenes; with the appropriate snippet from bitbake.conf showing how it's used.
