It's currently easy to miss how PACKAGES works w.r.t. files matching FILES for many different packages. I suggest the following changes: * Add this to the end of the PACKAGES glossary entry: During packaging, the [do_package] task goes through PACKAGES and uses the [FILES] variable corresponding to each package to assign files to the package. If a file matches the FILES variable for more than one package in PACKAGES, it will be assigned to the earliest (leftmost) one. * Linkify PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN in the PACKAGES glossary entry. * Add this to the end of the Note in the FILES glossary entry: You will also find the default value of the various FILES_* variables in this file. Cheers, Ulf
One small change: If a file matches the FILES variable for more than one package in PACKAGES, it will be assigned to the earliest (leftmost) package. ("package" instead of "one" at the end.) Cheers, Ulf
Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-PACKAGES for PACKAGES. Note that I did not "linkify" that variable in the example. I try not to link variables in code examples. If you feel the reference is really important, I can add a separate cross-reference to it outside of the code example. See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-FILES for the addition at the end of the note for the FILES variable. Thanks, Scott
Looks good to me. I'm OK with not linkifying PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN. Thanks, Ulf
Thanks... setting to RESOLVED and putting doc flag to "done". Scott
