Description Bogdan Alexandru Voiculescu 2015-11-17 16:15:50 UTC

Devtool help message display to use recipename

 devtool build --help
usage: devtool build [-h] [-s] recipename

Builds the specified recipe using bitbake

positional arguments:
  recipename            Recipe to build

But, it actually refers to packagename: 

devtool build udev.bb
ERROR: No recipe named 'udev.bb' in your workspace

..../udev$ ls
udev.bb

Please fix the error message and/or tool help

"Package name" would not be the correct terminology either. "Recipe name" is correct; what you may be thinking of is the "recipe file name".

We can possibly add a few clarifying words though I guess.

Thank you Paul for clarifying the correct terminology.

Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2015-11-22 19:37:18 UTC

Upon closer inspection I don't think we need to change anything here. "Recipe name" is the same term used by the bitbake help; furthermore, you'd have to have got this correct when using devtool modify or devtool add when putting the recipe in the workspace.

verified; not a bug.
