Subject: [PATCH 1/2] spdx-common: Add documentation for undocumented SPDX variables
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 05:25:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260221042530.318125-2-stondo@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260221042530.318125-1-stondo@gmail.com>
From: Stefano Tondo <stefano.tondo.ext@siemens.com>
Add [doc] strings for eight undocumented SPDX-related BitBake
variables in spdx-common.bbclass.
Variables documented:
- SPDX_INCLUDE_SOURCES
- SPDX_INCLUDE_COMPILED_SOURCES
- SPDX_UUID_NAMESPACE
- SPDX_NAMESPACE_PREFIX
- SPDX_PRETTY
- SPDX_LICENSES
- SPDX_CUSTOM_ANNOTATION_VARS
- SPDX_MULTILIB_SSTATE_ARCHS
This makes variables discoverable via bitbake-getvar and IDE
completion, improving usability for SBOM generation.
