local.conf assignment priority with autobuilder

local.conf assignment priority with autobuilder

I am attempting to control debug-tweaks via an image recipe.

Previous posts suggest that the autobuilder will use auto.conf and ignore
local.conf. However, meta/conf/bitbake.conf says that the include order is
auto.conf, and then local.conf.

This means that the default local.conf.template installed overrides with a
regular assignment.

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks"


Perhaps the assignment in local.conf be a weak one, i.e. ?= where it would
not override a previous assignment.

Or maybe I need a new buildstep. How should I be doing this?

Correct, the autobuilder will use auto.conf to load it's modifications, 
but as you note in bitbake.conf, the local.conf will also be loaded 
after auto.conf.

You can use EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES_remove = "debug-tweaks" which will 
remove it when it's finalized.

If you want to add to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES you can use += operation.
