Subject: in sysfsutils_2.1.0.bb, is 'S = "${WORKDIR}/sysfsutils-${PV}"' redundant?
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 04:57:54 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1501130453440.21773@localhost> (raw)
more nitpickery, but was demonstrating OE recipe structure to class
yesterday, arbitrarily picked sysfsutils_2.1.0.bb, going through it
line by line, and a sharp-eyed student noticed this line:
S = "${WORKDIR}/sysfsutils-${PV}"
and wondered what it was doing there, since bitbake.conf sets the
default of:
S = "${WORKDIR}/${BP}"
and since, by default:
BP = "${BPN}-${PV}"
the source directory for sysfsutils would already appear to be
correct. setting S that way in the recipe obviously doesn't do any
harm, but is it accurate to say that, at least in this case, it's
unnecessary?
