Description Yann Dirson 2016-10-17 14:42:29 UTC 
EXTENDPKGV is hard to find, and would be useful to mention where RDEPENDS is explained, which seems to be bitbake-user-manual.html#var-RDEPENDS
Comment 1 Scott Rifenbark 2016-10-19 15:45:41 UTC 
Hi, 

So there is an example at the bottom of the RDEPENDS variable description in the ref-manual.  I have modified that part to mention EXTENDPKGV as a way to provide the version.  See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-RDEPENDS and let me know if this fixes things up for you. 

Also, we don't document EXTENDPKGV in the BitBake manual.  I am guessing we probably need to have EXTENDPKGV in the BB manual.  Copying Paul Eggleton here to find out.

Thanks, 
Scott

We definitely do not want EXTENDPKGV or any reference to it in the bitbake manual. EXTENDPKGV only exists on the OE side, BitBake itself knows nothing about it.

Paul, 

We are good on that then... no occurrences of EXTENDPKGV in the BB manual.

No further feedback.  I am setting to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done."
