We're looking at a recipe which would do:

BBCLASSEXTEND = "devupstream:target"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM_class-devupstream =
"file://LICENSE;md5=3f882d431dc0f32f1f44c0707aa41128"
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE_class-devupstream = "-1"
SRC_URI_class-devupstream = "git://git.lttng.org/lttng-
modules;branch=master \
             file://Makefile-Do-not-fail-if-CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS-is-
not-en.patch \
             file://BUILD_RUNTIME_BUG_ON-vs-gcc7.patch \
             "
SRCREV_class-devupstream = "${AUTOREV}"
PV_class-devupstream = "2.11.0-rc+git${SRCPV}"
S_class-devupstream = "${WORKDIR}/git"

which is a bit ugly. I wondered whether we'd want to support some
kind
of collective override syntax, e.g.:

BBCLASSEXTEND = "devupstream:target"
override class-devupstream {
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://LICENSE;md5=3f882d431dc0f32f1f44c0707aa41128"
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1"
SRC_URI = "git://git.lttng.org/lttng-modules;branch=master \
             file://Makefile-Do-not-fail-if-CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS-is-
not-en.patch \
             file://BUILD_RUNTIME_BUG_ON-vs-gcc7.patch \
             "
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
PV = "2.11.0-rc+git${SRCPV}"
S = "${WORKDIR}/git"
}

It would be a pain to implement in bitbake but should be possible,
it
would literally just append _<OVERRIDE> to the variable names when
storing them.
An alternative syntax proposal:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2017-May/001411.html

In that one, at least bitbake wouldn't have to deal with more braces
:).
The braces bit is actually easier for the parser!

Ah, fair enough


I'm not partial to one or the other really, but the compulsive side
of  me is *really* going to want to indent the variables (which I
know would break all sorts of bitbake parsing).
I wanted to indent it too. The parser could probably be taught about it
relatively easily, its just regexs. I'm not sure that is a good idea
though.

In the link, Patrick makes a good point, we can't handle all syntax
within the braces as some don't have overrides conditionals (like
addtask).

Ya. I suspect you'd want to make anything other than variable assignments in a block syntax errors (at least until a sane mechanism is determined to handle them).



Cheers,

Richard
