Description Paul Eggleton 2016-11-17 21:23:50 UTC 
Under the glossary entry for STAGING_DIR we could use a reference to SYSROOT_DIRS being the variable that you can now use to control the list of subdirectories that get staged.

We also need to do a similar thing for the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section in the dev manual. An example of adding /opt to the directories that get staged would be:

SYSROOT_DIRS += "/opt"

Hi, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.3/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-STAGING_DIR for the change to the STAGING_DIR variable in the glossary.

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.3/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#new-sharing-files-between-recipes for a re-write of the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section. 

Let me know what you think.

Scott

Paul, 

I am marking this RESOLVED as I have had no feedback on it for some time. 

Thanks,
