You're not alone! Because the people who did this are reading this list ;-) I'll be polite, it is clever, but even after a year of trying to get comfortable with it, I still think it is a poor paradigm. A variable name is a variable name and should be only a variable name. One shouldn't have to parse a variable name to try to determine what operations should be performed on the value of a variable in addition to whatever external operations are requested :-) VARIABLE_append -= "feature" ?? _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
