Subject: [PATCH v2] ref-manual: variables.rst: remove BBPATH
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2022 11:07:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220922090741.2331948-1-michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <171722EDD973C83B.16339@lists.yoctoproject.org>

From: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com>

As reported in [YOCTO #14502], the description of BBPATH in the
Yocto Project Manual is redundant with its description in the
BitBake User Manual.

Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com>
Reported-by: Quentin Schulz <foss@0leil.net>

Changes in V2:
- Remove the manual redirection
  The consequence is that BBPATH will no longer be listed
  in the Yocto variable index.
