Subject: would replacing packagegroup names with "${PN}" be useless code churn?
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 07:23:34 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1407150720001.5794@localhost> (raw)
just my sheldon cooper-like OCD coming through again, but i long ago
noted that some packagegroup files do this:
RDEPENDS_${PN} = "openssh"
while others spell out (unnecessarily) the packagegroup name:
RDEPENDS_packagegroup-core-buildessential = "\
when using ${PN} would have worked just fine. i'm a big fan of brevity
so i can whip up a patch to shorter all those lines and make them
clearer, unless folks think that's just unnecessary code churn.
