Customization for nginx

Customization for nginx

[Elias Diem]

Hi

With jethro, I used to use the following .bbappend to use
my config for nginx:

<file name="nginx_1.9.5.bbappend">
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"

</file>

My nginx.conf was inside the corresponding files directory.

Since krogoth, which uses nginx 1.9.14, this does not seem 
to work any more. My config file is not used any more. The 
.bbappend file how has the name nginx_1.9.14.bbappend of 
course.

What could be the reason for this?

Or, alternatively: where can I debug this?

This is not an answer to your question but it can be helpful:
You can use a wildcard for version in your bbappend file.
If you rename it to:

nginx_1.9.%.bbappend

this will work for both 1.9.5 and 1.9.14.

For debugging I can give you a hint:
try using "-v" switch for bitbake when baking your nginx recipe- this 
stands for "verbose".

Best regards,

Thanks for this hint.

I realized that krogoth delivers two recipes for nginx:

1.9.14 and 1.8.1

And it picks 1.8.1. That's why it does not work.

Now I tried to set

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_nginx = "nginx-1.9.14"

But this does not seem to work.

How do you prefer a provider out of two different versions 
of a package?
