Since 62bd2e36 and 4602408c, multiconfig files are allowed to live in layers, rather than only in the build/conf directory. This should 1) be documented, and 2) have tests written to verify it doesn't regress
You got it :)
Does this commit address #2 ? http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/multiconfig.py?id=2b74cece399978eefffb7dd12091ccfd035ae603
Is this fixed as per Armin's link? Seems like the documentation part isn't done yet so CCing Michael Opdenacker.
Sorry, I have not had time to do this yet. If someone wants to take it from me that's fine. Until then I will move it out.
Patches to add a test case and update the docs sent out.
Test added, just need docs now: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=f707d9bb965fa6d9137efe9c9106205fe29a50ae
