Subject: PREFERRED_VERSION and wildcards
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:34:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F610F03.1070201@opendreambox.org> (raw)
Hi,
I just tried using wildcards, like it's done for gcc, e.g.:
PREFERRED_VERSION_foo = "1.2%"
Now, if I have two foo recipes, foo_1.2.1.bb and foo_1.2.3.bb, in the
same directory, then Bitbake always chooses 1.2.1 instead of the one
with the higher version number. Does bitbake always choose the first
matching version it can find? Is this a general limitation of wildcards,
or is this a problem that can get corrected? I'd expect it to choose the
highest matching version.
Regards,
Andreas
