Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] ref-manual: put the ARCHIVER_MODE comments on their own lines
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:28:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924172853.2665062-9-twoerner@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924172853.2665062-1-twoerner@gmail.com>
BitBake has no inline comments. A "#" after a value is not stripped and
does not end the statement: the parser simply fails to match the line, so
each of these varflag examples would be rejected outright if copied into
a configuration file.
Move each explanation to the line above the setting it describes, which
parses and reads the same.

changes in v3:
- a blank line separates each comment from the setting above it
changes in v2:
- the srpm varflag is no longer in this block, having been removed
