Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] doc: bitbake-user-manual-ref-variables: have directory examples be consistent
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:36:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216-bbmask-slashes-v2-2-b9bb52f5fd3d@cherry.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216-bbmask-slashes-v2-0-b9bb52f5fd3d@cherry.de>
From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de>
It's a bit confusing to have a mix of paths with and without a leading
slash. The behavior is actually different. The next commit will explain
when/why to add a leading slash.

BitBake to ignore all recipe and recipe append files in
``meta-ti/recipes-misc/`` directories (and their subdirectories)::
- BBMASK = "meta-ti/recipes-misc/"
+ BBMASK = "/meta-ti/recipes-misc/"
If you want to mask out multiple directories or recipes, you can
specify multiple regular expression fragments. This next example
masks out multiple directories and individual recipes::
- BBMASK += "/meta-ti/recipes-misc/ meta-ti/recipes-ti/packagegroup/"
+ BBMASK += "/meta-ti/recipes-ti/packagegroup/"
BBMASK += "/meta-oe/recipes-support/"
BBMASK += "/meta-foo/.*/openldap"
BBMASK += "opencv.*\.bbappend"
