Subject: Heads up: _remove in recipe namespace - check your layers
Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:54:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5772089.rktQrocuuR@helios> (raw)

Hi all,

With the recent addition of a _remove operator into BitBake in master [1] any 
use of _remove_ within a name or _remove at the end of a name within recipe 
namespace (i.e. function and variable names) needs to be changed to avoid 
unexpected behaviour. This change is now in master and will be in the upcoming 
release. Please check the layers you maintain and change any instances of 
these to avoid the use of _remove. You can use the following command to find 
these (of course ignoring anything that's not in a recipe, bbclass, inc file 
etc.):

  git grep _remove[^a-zA-Z]

In particular I've checked a number of layers that I have fetched locally, and 
references exist in meta-arago-distro and meta-angstrom, so these will need to 
be fixed as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Paul
