Normally, I would agree with you. However, the definition of FILESEXTRAPATHS in meta/conf/bitbake.conf contradicts that: FILESEXTRAPATHS ?= "__default:" The benefit of that (I guess) is that the added string looks the same whether _prepend or _append is used. At the same time it is a bit confusing since this is not the normal pattern for adding to a colon-separated variable. //Peter
