Dear all, Peeking at flex I was wondering whether we should try to avoid using .inc files in recipes especially if there is only one recipe.
flex has: fr...@frans-desktop:~/yocto/poky-laverne-4.0$ ls meta/recipes-devtools/flex flex_2.5.35.bb flex.inc Here the inc file could be merged into the bb file. This has the advantage of having only a single file, so it is slightly easier if you want to read or maintain the recipe. For recipes with multiple versions (e.g. tar) it might be useful to have inc files. It is really a tradeoff between easy access/reading and maintainability here. (and I think for some packages (e.g. gcc) the inc file is actually very useful!) Frans PS: laverne seems to have 255 inc files: fr...@frans-desktop:~/yocto/poky-laverne-4.0$ find meta* | grep \.inc\$ meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0.inc meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib.inc
