bitbake: data_smart: Only support lowercase OVERRIDES
breaks the use of capital letters, specifically in MACHINE names.
I use this a lot, along with COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, to share recipes
amongst similar machines.
The commit says it could be conditional. How hard (and how)
would it be to do that?
A little background:
http://openembedded.org/wiki/OEDEM_2015#Metadata
Fair enough + I missed the RFC for the patch that eventually went in.
That said, maybe a warning could be issued if overrides (at least
MACHINEOVERRIDES)
are being defined with any upper-case letters rather than the [very silent
and hard to find] new behaviour causing issues?
I'll set off to rework all of my recipes that use upper case
letters in any way - a lot of work I'm sad to say...
