[[yocto] kernel manual: confusing coverage of FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend] On 15.02.25 (Wed 03:54) Robert P. J.

Both work but with any new recipes (at least in the layers I maintain) the preference is to use the former for clarity as well as faster lookups.
What makes one way faster than any other? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
