Subject: bitbake-setup feedback - long subpath + hardcoding machine and distro
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:53:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <63cb0d09-2b76-4557-ae38-8ac2d1772cdc@windriver.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I'd like to provide one feedback on bitbake-setup.

The subpath is unnecessarily long, e.g., 
poky-master-poky-distro_poky-machine_qemux86-64. And it's hardcoding 
machine and distro values.

Such design might be reasonable for testing infrastructure, but it's not 
good user experience for developers.

For example, what if I want to to build things for qemuarm64? I'm using 
layers under the a subpath with the name of 
poky-master-poky-distro_poky-machine_qemux86-64 but I'm building for 
qemuarm64. This feels a little weird.

Regards,
Qi
