Hi Steve, Have you found the YP Overview and Concepts Manual? There is a fairly large section here - https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6.1/overview-manual/overview-manual.html#openembedded-build-system-build-concepts that covers build concepts in some detail. This might help you.
Another idea for finding topics in the YP manual set is to use the YP Mega-Manual ( https://yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html), which is a compilation of the set of YP manuals. You can search the entire set for terms (e.g. "packag"). It occurs a lot in the set but it is a way to find all the occurrences. If you still cannot find satisfactory explanation on how packages are generated, we can file a bug against the docs and get a good explanation in there. Hope this helps, Scott On Wed, Mar 13, 2019 at 9:21 AM Steve Scott <ssc...@san.rr.com> wrote: > Hi: > > > > I’ve been trying to get a better understanding of how packages are > generated by recipes.
