[...] Have you seen this chapter? https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5.1/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#new-sharing-files-between-recipes (well, that's not 2.3 but the newest one, but I am not aware that anything significant has changed once more) The headline promises to answer the question, but at least I don't fully follow the explanations. They are talking about *the* sysroot. As we know sysroots are recipe-specifc now. So if we are talking about sharing files between recipes, we have an "exporting" recipe and an "importing" recipe, so at least in theory 2 sysroots could be involved. From the text in the manual I do not understand which one they mean and what they try to explain. So yes, I agree that the documentation should be clarified. Unfortunatly I am not in the situation to suggest the solution. Regards, Uwe Geuder Neuro Event Labs Oy Tampere, Finland uwe.gexder at neuroeventlabs.com (Bot check: fix one obvious typo)
