Suppose you want to bump PR on every xorg lib recipe, do you want to edit 70 recipes or do you only want to edit 1 .inc file and 3 recipes? If you're in the 'edit 70 recipes' crowd, add PR = "r0" to all recipes in OE. If not, leave it out, bitbake defaults to it anyway. Also, does anyone remember how much pain we had when adding ${PN}-dbg into the default PACKAGES only to discover that lots of recipes were needlessly copying defaults? regards, Koen
