Subject: some questions about bitbake user manual, fetching chapter
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:12:42 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1406170936190.619@localhost> (raw)
working my way thru the fetching chapter, some questions:
* manual doesn't explain what happens if you don't supply *both*
checksums for downloading -- what if you supply only one? or both
and one is correct while the other is incorrect? i think this would
be useful info for the reader.
* right now, manual says FILESDIR is still "deprecated". is it just
deprecated, or is it at the point where it can be killed outright?
currently, there's nothing in the entire poky checkout that uses it.
have people been given sufficient warning at this point?
* i asked about this a long time ago -- in section 4.3.1 (local file
fetcher), there's an alleged sample line:
SRC_URI = "file://relativefile.patch;this=ignored"
"this=ignored"? can that be replaced by, say, a sample line involving
"apply=yes" or "apply=no"? or any other relevant examples?
i think that's it for now.
