So it's just doing what the recipes do already, not > a general change in bitbake.conf. just FYI, while PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN is a cool concept, it's not like there's a lot of it being used in the poky layer -- all of two uses: meta/classes/lib_package.bbclass:PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN = "${PN}-bin" meta/recipes-graphics/clutter/clutter-1.0.inc:PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN += "${PN}-examples" was it really necessary to introduce a new variable just for that? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
