(related item, not the actual answer to your existion) For those unfamiliar with the SUMMARY, it automatically inherits the DESCRIPTION. In the original design of the SUMMARY field it was expected that a number of items already have "small" descriptions, so automatically inheriting made sense. When I did the original pass for oe-core to add summaries, what I found is that many of the "DESCRIPTIONS" are really just summaries. So (in the example above), I would have renamed the DESCRIPTION to summary, and put in a new, more detailed DESCRIPTION. For instance (taking from Fedora): DESCRIPTION = "The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute \ a callback function when a specific event occurs on a file \ descriptor or after a timeout has been reached. libevent is \ meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event \ driven network servers. An application just needs to call \ event_dispatch() and can then add or remove events dynamically \ without having to change the event loop." So my suggestion is when the DESCRIPTION is small enough, there is no reason to add a duplicate SUMMARY. However, it should be a trigger that the DESCRIPTION itself is likely just a summary, and a more explicit DESCRIPTION should be added. (I always thing of a summary as "what is this in 74 charachters or less", and the DESCRIPTION is "why would I want this thing?") --Mark > Andreas > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-devel mailing list > Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Hi Andreas, I did this because SUMMARY is a required field by the HOB UI. This was requested by Shane Wang on the oe-core ML: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-December/014600.html For recipes which have short descriptions, there was little sense in summarizing them further, so I duplicated the DESCRIPTION field. Above you can also see an example (in the icu recipe) were I did summarize a long DESCRIPTION field. Mark Hatle replied to this thread explaining why we previously allowed SUMMARY to be an optional field and how it automatically inherited from DESCRIPTION. Let me know if you have further questions.

Why not use DESCRIPTION? (this is a copy of the email I sent to the oe-devel ML): Hi Andreas, I did this because SUMMARY is a required field by the HOB UI. This was requested by Shane Wang on the oe-core ML: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-December/014600.html For recipes which have short descriptions, there was little sense in summarizing them further, so I duplicated the DESCRIPTION field. Above you can also see an example (in the icu recipe) were I did summarize a long DESCRIPTION field. Mark Hatle replied to this thread explaining why we previously allowed SUMMARY to be an optional field and how it automatically inherited from DESCRIPTION. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Koen, Ah, I see why this is still confusing. Shane wrote: "If the summary is missing, bitbake will create a default value for summary. That is PN plus string " version " plus its version." So apparently the HOB UI isn't actually "inheriting" the DESCRIPTION field. Shane and Mark: can you clarify what the intended behavior is? Why would the HOB UI not inherit DESCRIPTION?

Hmm.. I don't think that is the right solution. If HOB wants a SUMMARY then SUMMARY is correct.. if it want's more descriptive info then it should go to DESCRIPTION. It sounds like these packages either need the DESCRIPTION changed to SUMMARY -- or we need to change the way we're inheriting the variables.

Another case is what if a recipe has a summary but the summary starts with ${PN}? Extremely the summary *is* ${PN} version ${PV}-${PR}, then we get the description as the replacement, that is wrong.
