Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] doc: bitbake-user-manual-metadata: remove incorrect claim
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 11:14:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501091418.76994-2-bijak.dawid@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501091418.76994-1-bijak.dawid@gmail.com>
The documentation for inherit_defer contained the claim
"If VARNAME is going to be set, it needs to be set before the
inherit_defer statement is parsed"
which is incorrect and contradicts the purpose of inherit_defer.
Drop the incorrect statement.
