Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bitbake.conf: Use the new variable override syntax in a comment
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2021 19:28:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210826172844.32608-1-pkj@axis.com> (raw)

It is probably a good idea if the comment that describes how variable
overrides work use the new override syntax...

 # Overrides are processed left to right, so the ones that are named later take precedence.
 # You generally want them to go from least to most specific. This means that:
-# A variable '<foo>_arm' overrides a variable '<foo>' when ${TARGET_ARCH} is arm.
-# A variable '<foo>_qemuarm' overrides '<foo>' and overrides '<foo>_arm' when ${MACHINE} is 'qemuarm'.
-# If you use combination ie '<foo>_qemuarm_arm', then '<foo>_qemuarm_arm' will override
-# '<foo>_qemuarm' and then '<foo>' will be overriden with that value from '<foo>_qemuarm'.
-# And finally '<foo>_forcevariable' overrides any standard variable, with the highest priority.
+# A variable '<foo>:arm' overrides a variable '<foo>' when ${TARGET_ARCH} is arm.
+# A variable '<foo>:qemuarm' overrides '<foo>' and overrides '<foo>:arm' when ${MACHINE} is 'qemuarm'.
+# If you use combination ie '<foo>:qemuarm:arm', then '<foo>:qemuarm:arm' will override

 # This works for functions as well, they are really just variables.

 OVERRIDES = "${TARGET_OS}:${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH}:pn-${PN}:${MACHINEOVERRIDES}:${DISTROOVERRIDES}:${CLASSOVERRIDE}${LIBCOVERRIDE}:forcevariable"
