Description Mark Hatle 2012-05-10 21:29:40 UTC 
I had a user working on a new recipe that ran across the following issue:

agentdir = "/usr/scopetools-6.1/"
FILES_${PN}-dbg += "${agentdir}/.debug/*"

When the recipe was built the following message appeared:


WARNING: For recipe wr-opagent, the following files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
WARNING:   /usr/scopetools-6.1/.debug/ProfileAgent


Needless to say this turned out to be very tricky to resolve, as it was unclear why it did not work.


Removing the '/' at the end of 'agentdir' fixed the problem.  Either we should detect the // case and resolve it for the end user automatically, or we should have a sanity check that verified that '//' does not appear in the FILES_split variables.
