Description Juan Manuel Cruz Alcaraz 2017-07-17 19:40:16 UTC 
The package management implemented in meta/classes/package.bbclass defines the configuration variable NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG.
Usually the content of the debug package (package with -dbg suffix) is defined by the system itself including debug content and optionally source code. When the NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG variable is defined, the content of the debug package can be defined by the user, e.g:

NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG = "1"
FILES_${PN}-dev = "${includedir}/${QT_DIR_NAME}/Qt/*"
FILES_${PN}-dbg = "/usr/src/debug/"
FILES_${QT_BASE_NAME}-demos-doc = "${docdir}/${QT_DIR_NAME}/qch/qt.qch"

Currently there is no mention of the NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG in the reference manual.

Taking ownership on this. Paul - what is your opinion on documenting this variable? Thanks!

I have made an attempt at defining NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG below. Let me know if this works. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-NOAUTOPACKAGEDEBUG

Thanks!
