perusing the meta-musl layer, and noticed in layer.conf the line: BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY ?= "1" i thought this was a bit odd since (at least to me) it seems like the sort of thing a *developer* might set in their local.conf to temporarily deal with a dangling .bbappend file -- it never occurred to me that it would be appropriate for a layer to define that value itself as an inherent part of its own ... layerness. a quick grep of the couple dozen layers i have checked out revealed two layers that do that: ./meta-musl/conf/layer.conf:BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY ?= "1" ./meta-yocto-kernel-extras/meta-kernel-dev/conf/layer.conf:BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY ?= "true" i'm curious what others think of this approach.
Sounds dangerous, bordering on incorrect (or irresponsible) to me. This could easily mask a problem and is not layer specific, i.e. the warning would then apply to all layers, not just meta-musl. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
