more nitpickery, but i note in OE's current bitbake.conf the
initially odd definitions:
FILES_${PN} = "${bindir}/* ${sbindir}/* ...'
... snip ...
FILES_${PN}-bin = "${bindir}/* ${sbindir}/*"
i say "odd" since someone perusing that file could be confused, first,
that that "-bin" package definition overlaps with the base package
file list and, more, that just above that, the definition of PACKAGES
doesn't include the "-bin" package:
PACKAGES = "${PN}-src ${PN}-dbg ${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-dev \
${PN}-doc ${PN}-locale ${PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN} ${PN}"
so anyone currently RTFS is likely to stop and think, "what the heck
is the '-bin' package defined for if it's not even included in the
normal package list?"
of course, one need to consult lib_package.bbclass to finally
understand what its purpose is:
PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN = "${PN}-bin"
but if that's the only purpose for that package definition, would it
not make more sense to just move it to lib_package.bbclass so it's
next to the variable setting that actually causes it to be processed?
of course it works as is, it just seems unnecessarily confusing,
unless there's some subtle ordering requirement happening here.
