first question -- is the bitbake user manual that comes bundled with the bitbake source considered part of the yocto doc collection? as in, if one wants detailed info on bitbake, does one read the bitbake user manual (which is not mentioned on the yocto docs page), or is bitbake user info assumed to now be scattered throughout the yocto docs? i think it's important to identify the canonical location for that documentation.
following on that, i'm asking since the bitbake user manual is definitely a *little* deficient on info for the local file fetcher. here's the sum total of its examples: SRC_URI= "file://relativefile.patch" SRC_URI= "file://relativefile.patch;this=ignored" SRC_URI= "file:///Users/ich/very_important_software" but there's no mention that (as i read it) that protocol accepts wildcards: meta-angstrom/recipes-angstrom/angstrom/angstrom-uboot-scripts.bb:SRC_URI = "file://*.cmd" i had no idea that was even true until i stumbled over the above (if that's indeed what it means). there's also no comprehensive coverage of how to define and use patches in the yocto docs. the only mention i see is in the ref manual, in the variable glossary under SRC_URI, which isn't even complete (no mention of apply= or patchdir=). so basic question -- is the bitbake user manual still under active maintenance and is it considered part of the yocto docs collection? since all that bitbake information should be *somewhere* but it's not clear where. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
