When we start rearranging the directory structure every file in 'files' will need to get checked to see to which recipe it applies. If a patch or file is for multiple versions of recipe foobar, place it in 'foobar/'. Pretty much the only valid use of 'files/' is when one file is shared between multiple different recipes (foobar_1.bb, qux_5.bb, etc), like the gtk-doc.m4 for gnome stuff. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFMIHaGMkyGM64RGpERAi+/AJ4xW0TDYMPM1zMC8tTfurDopDQpsQCaAycX cKR3NrAdFT8lhz785DrKyeg= =kY64 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
