[PATCH] clarify wording

[PATCH] clarify wording

[Trevor Woerner]

From: Trevor Woerner <twoerner@gmail.com>

The '-s' option shows (input) recipes, not (built/output) packages. Clarify
the help wording for this option so it is consistent.

Modify the commit subject. to include what you are changing. In your case
the subject should be something like:
"bitbake: Clarify wording"

Sorry about that, thanks for the feedback. I'll send in a new patch
for consideration.

No, this is wrong. When committing to the bitbake repository, there's
no need to prefix it with 'bitbake:'. You should mention what/where
you're clarifying, however. E.g. "clarify wording in help output for
-s"

I am new to bitbake-devel, but looking through several of the more
recent commits would indicate the majority of them do have some sort
of location identifier in the subject, some of which are just
"bitbake:". One (e0f91faf195be63803d39fb42fcd115ad558c79f) even has
"bin/bitbake:"; maybe I should use this for my patch?

I think in this case bin/bitbake: is the best prefix. The idea is it
gives a rough idea what changed and clearly in this case that is quite a
good summary.

Since this is such a simple patch, I've tweaked it and applied it. Also
in future please include a Signed-off-by: line.

Cheers,

Richard

Wrong. Inside the bitbake repository, it shouldn't and needn't be
prefixed with 'bitbake:' unless necessary due to it coming from poky.
Perhaps the only git changelog you read is inside the poky repository,
but the rest of us pay more attention.

Ok. I see your point. And you are right. I was talking inside yocto. Thank
you for clarifying this.
