here:

there is some apparently hard and fast advice:
"Use FILESEXTRAPATHS to extend file search path: Modifications to
FILESPATHPKG and/or FILESPATH should be replaced by prepending to
FILESEXTRAPATHS; in addition, you no longer need to define THISDIR
(and should not do so). For example, to add a directory to be searched
for patches and other files which is named with PN, do the following
(note the immediate evaluation operator := and trailing colon, these
are important):
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
but it seems the use of that variable is a bit fast and loose:
$ grep -r FILESEXTRAPATHS *
... snip ...
meta/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-common.inc:FILESEXTRAPATHS_append :=
"${THISDIR}/mesa:"
meta/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-git.inc:FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend :=
"${THISDIR}/mesa-git:"
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xorg-lite_1.11.2.bb:FILESEXTRAPATHS_append
:= "${THISDIR}/xserver-xorg:${THISDIR}/xserver-xorg-${PV}:"
meta/recipes-qt/qt4/qt4-native_4.7.4.bb:FILESEXTRAPATHS =.
"${FILE_DIRNAME}/qt-${PV}:"
meta/recipes-qt/qt4/qt4-tools-nativesdk.inc:FILESEXTRAPATHS =.
"${FILE_DIRNAME}/qt-${PV}:"
meta/recipes-qt/qt4/qt4-native_4.8.0.bb:FILESEXTRAPATHS =.
"${FILE_DIRNAME}/qt-${PV}:"
meta/classes/utils.bbclass: extrapaths = (d.getVar("FILESEXTRAPATHS", True)
or "")
$
does this matter?
