I would opt for solution one as well since it makes it more consistent with the regular setup script.

Day; Saul Wold; Yocto discussion list Subject: Re: [yocto] FW: curious about ref manual, sec 6.1.11, oe-init-build-env-memres I am picking up this thread since I have been mocking around with the bitbake server. The use of the oe-init-build-env-memresscript is source oe-init-build-env-memres <portnumber> <buildenv> The documentation suggests that you can omit the portnumber in which case the script would use 12345. According to my tests with master [1] that is apparently not the case. If you omit the portnumber such as source oe-init-build-env-memres mybuildenv the script will create a build environment with the name build and then tries to convert mybuildenv into a portnumber wich will most likely fail unless you used an integer number for the name of your build environment. This behavior is expected since how would the script for a simple variable list that does not use any option names be able to reliably detect if the first parameter is a portnumber or a build environment name? There are two possible fixes for that: 1. Reverse the order of the two arguments in which case you can omit either the portnumber or both arguments. It would also make the command line of the script more consistent with oe-init-build-env. 2. Check if the first argument is an integer (since portnumbers are always integers). I would prefer 1. but then Scott would have to change the documentation. I can submit a patch if that is any interest. BTW, is the protocol that the bitbake server expects on that port documented somewhere (other than the source code that is)?
