No?
We create the sample files in a small wrapper for oe-init-build-env so that to the users, everything works just as described in the Yocto documentation. And since the OE scripts expect TEMPLATECONF to be set and contain sample files, that is what we create. > We do need to standardize the location for the templates for reasons > of discoverability and consistency with machine and distro > definitions, this has been discussed. Sure, that is fine. But the expectation I have is that TEMPLATECONF refers to the directory that has the sample files needed to set up the build environment. And that is it. As long as the sample files exist where it says they should be, why do you need the scripts to fail because the environment around the directory does not look like what you happen to expect? It is only the contents of the directory that matters. Or am I missing something? > > Alex //Peter
