still perusing the very basics of oe-core and grepping madly, came
across the following oddity:
$ grep -r SRC_URI_append *
... snip ...
bitbake/doc/manual/usermanual.xml:SRC_URI_append_1.0.7+ =
"file://some_patch_which_the_new_versions_need.patch;patch=1"</screen></para>
meta/recipes-support/gmp/gmp_5.0.4.bb:SRC_URI_append +=
"file://use-includedir.patch \
meta/recipes-support/libcroco/libcroco_0.6.3.bb:SRC_URI_append = "
file://croco.patch;apply=yes "
... snip ...
AIUI, there are two (common) variations for extending SRC_URI. the
straightforward unconditional way:
SRC_URI += ... blah blah ...
or if you need to make it conditional, then there's
SRC_URI_append_thingy = "whatever"
so what's with the latter two entries above?
meta/recipes-support/gmp/gmp_5.0.4.bb:SRC_URI_append +=
"file://use-includedir.patch \
meta/recipes-support/libcroco/libcroco_0.6.3.bb:SRC_URI_append = "
file://croco.patch;apply=yes "
is there some subtlety i'm missing here? why would one ever use
either of:
SRC_URI_append += "..." (looks redundant)
SRC_URI_append = "..." (why not just SRC_URI +=?)
can i just assume those are typoes?
