Change in bitbake rules or processing?

Change in bitbake rules or processing?

[Gary Thomas]

I had a recipe (.bbappend file) which added something like this:
   SRC_URI_powerpc =+ "file://my.patch "

This fails when trying to build with today's master.  I had to
change it to this:
   SRC_URI_append = "file://my.patch "

I also cannot have the "powerpc" override or else it doesn't work.

* Has this behaviour changed?
* Should it not work, or was I just lucky before?
* How can I get the machine/architecture override back in there?

Thanks
