Subject: kernel manual: confusing coverage of FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 03:54:35 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1502250351310.26693@localhost> (raw)
minor quibble about kernel dev manual -- section 2.2.1, "creating
the append file", uses the example of:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
while section 2.2.3 uses:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
both sections kind of implying that that's the way to do it, without
making it clear that *either* way works as long as the variable
prepend matches up with the directory name.
both ways are correct, of course, but the wording is a bit
confusing.
