I do still think that, as far as oe-core goes at least, simply discontinuing the practice of putting PV in the filenames would be an easier and better plan. This would: not require any bitbake changes, avoid the need for a .inc in most cases, discourage the common mistake of adding a new version and forgetting to remove the old one, and make it easier to follow the git history because there wouldn't be renames all over the place. But it appears that I am in a minority of one in favouring this plan and I guess wildcarded .bbappends are the next best thing. Your proposal above sounds like a reasonable enough idea; having % in .bbappend filenames will look a bit weird but there doesn't seem to be any obvious reason why it wouldn't work. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
