Description Robert Yang 2016-04-05 03:18:44 UTC 
For example, in meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/archiver.py:

        features = 'INHERIT += "archiver"\n'
        features += 'ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"\n'
        features += 'COPYLEFT_PN_INCLUDE = "%s"\n' % include_recipe
        features += 'COPYLEFT_PN_EXCLUDE = "%s"\n' % exclude_recipe


We can put these in a conf file, the benefit is:

* The user can easily know what is happened
* We can easily add or modify the test case

Robert, where do you suggest to place the conf file?

You can use a proper location you like, for example, in oeqa:
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/config_files/signing.conf

Updating target milestone. Patches send pending.
Comment 4 Jose Lamego 2016-08-16 22:46:02 UTC 
A solution was developed for the requested feature: [1], however, the change proved to be too intrusive and the resulting code hard-to-read enough to make it nonviable to implement.
