i figure the answer is obvious but i'll ask it anyway -- is it reasonable to encourage new developers to use the general packagename variables such as PN and BPN rather than hardcoding packagenames in their recipe files?
typically, you see things like this in recipe files: ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-staticdev = "1" and so on. but, occasionally, someone decides to (unnecessarily?) hardcode the package name, as in: gst-va-intel.bb:ALLOW_EMPTY_gst-va-intel = "1" gst-va-intel.bb:ALLOW_EMPTY_gst-va-intel-general = "1" gst-va-intel.bb:ALLOW_EMPTY_gst-va-intel-video = "1" gst-va-intel.bb:ALLOW_EMPTY_gst-va-intel-vaapi = "1" i'm *assuming* the above could have been written more concisely by using ${PN}, correct? is there a coding style preference that users should be *encouraged* to use? is there a general coding style guide anywhere? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
