Description Richard Purdie 2010-09-07 14:57:17 UTC 
Find a nicer way to add the current directory fo FILESPATH in overlays instead of this ugly python:

THISDIR := "${@os.path.dirname(bb.data.getVar('FILE', d, True))}"
FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}"], d)}:"
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2010-10-14 14:10:15 UTC 
Done in http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/classes/base.bbclass?id=904ae4a7531d6cb8b2cfefb7da8901b21a65ae7b

so the simpler syntax is:

FILESEXTRAPATHS := "${THISDIR}/${PN}"
