Hi all,
Sorry for the delay,
Basically, I share the same point of view as Patrick...
Using extraconf.inc files was a way to modify recipes without touching
the auto-generated files ( *_git.bb, *.bb).
Historically this auto-generation was useful for massive packages
synchronisation...
But now we get more and more closer to what the official tizen Common
release provides.
Vitaly, for your information, I am currently working on the last
synchronisation with the in coming Tizen Common Q1 release.
Since some major features have disappeared/changed/appeared from our
last release, and since some important package bumping have to be
applied, I would recommend you to push your current work in a sandbox.
Doing so, you should then be able to easily rebase your sandbox on the
release I am about to publish next week.
We could then discuss to what extent / how your work could be integrated
in meta-tizen...
Does that seem acceptable to you?
Regards,
Xavier

Hi
What he would like to say is to put your changes into *-extraconf.inc
files
ie
here :
crosswalk-thirdparty-extraconf.inc or crosswalk-extraconf.inc
This is how it was done traditionally. But as I explained when
announcing the tizen-distro snapshot for IVI, that approach has several
drawbacks: often, when only having to change one line, one has to copy a
whole chunk of code from .inc into -extraconf.inc and then modify it
there. The result is that git is unable to show that diff, and when
updating the auto-generated .inc later one there is the risk that more
recent code is not used because of the copied, stale code in
-extraconf.inc.
I used a different approach when putting together the IVI snapshot where
modifying the auto-generated .inc file is okay and encouraged.
It comes down to what the current maintainer, Xavier, intends to do.
Xavier?
