Christopher Collins updated MYNEWT-790:
---------------------------------------
Description:
(Pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-newt/pull/74)
PKG-A can only override a setting defined by PKG-B if PKG-A has a greater
priority than PKG-B. If PKG-A's priority is less than or equal to PKG-B's, the
override attempt is rejected and reported as a priority violation.
This commit relaxes that rule slightly: a package can override settings that it
itself defines.
This behavior is needed for making a setting's default value conditional on
another setting. For example:
{noformat}
syscfg.defs:
TIMER_0:
description: 'NRF52 Timer 0'
value: 1
TIMER_3:
description: 'NRF52 Timer 3'
value: 0
# Use timer 3 instead of timer 0 if target wants to use the low
# power clock.
syscfg.vals.BLE_LP_CLOCK:
TIMER_0: 0
TIMER_3: 1
{noformat}
