Hi, I have updated a couple reference sections to address this issue. Please review them: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#structure-core-script http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#structure-memres-core-script Thanks, Scott The new section mentions that you can just edit this file, but that's not really what people should be doing since that's modifying the core. One way to do it is to set TEMPLATECONF (an environment variable, not a bitbake variable) to point to a directory where the custom conf-notes.txt can be found. In a repository this can be set within a .templateconf file - hopefully we document that somewhere as well. Hi, There is a new section now to address the usage part of setting up a template with configurations. See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-a-custom-template-configuration-directory. I am leaving the bug at IN PROGRESS REVIEW for a while longer. Scott Setting milestone to M3. Still needs reviewed. Scott Hi, I am setting this bug to RESOLVED and flipping the documentation flag to "Done." The solution has been under review for over a month with no feedback. Thanks, Scott Hi Scott, Apologies for not having had time for Yocto lately. I think your improvement is great, thanks! No worries Laszlo. Thanks for confirming the text. Scott |
