Hmmm…. It pretty much killed my build. Maybe I used bad syntax. I will try and recreate it (I have since removed the directory and emptied the trash). I may not have used the curly braces.

This caused bad things to happen during the build. It essentially created a "never-ending" directory structure inside my build directory and the build failed. I would like place a note in the glossary entry for the DL_DIR variable. Can anyone provide some general reasons why a user should not use $HOME as part of the DL_DIR path that goes beyond "it will break the build"? $HOME is shell variable syntax, not bitbake. I use ${HOME} safely in my DL_DIR on a regular basis. -- Christopher Larson
