I do have to wonder why we don't allow globs in CONFFILES and set CONFFILES_${PN} to ${sysconfdir} by default...

Hi Ross,

There's a related bug on bugzilla.

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5200

I sent out a patch some time ago about this problem. The patch titile is "[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] Change the way of handling CONFFILES".

I think setting CONFFILES to be ${sysconfdir} and allowing overriding might be better than listing each file in CONFFILES in each individual recipe.

There's more information in the comment of the bug. If you agree with this solution, I can rebase the patch and send out V2.

What do you think?

Best Regards,
Chen Qi
