There’s no need for this. If there’s just different versions, then have vlc_1.2.3.bb alongside vlc_1.0.0.bb and use PREFERRED_VERSION. If you’ve got a fork, then just name it vlc-foo_1.2.3.bb and use PREFERRED_PROVIDER. There’s no need to use virtual/ with PREFERRED_PROVIDER. virtual/* should only be used when you want an abstract thing and there are many implementation, such as virtual/libc, which can be glibc, newlib, musl, etc. Ross
