Subject: [PATCH 0/4] New script to detect obsolete variables
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:46:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827-missing-variables-v1-0-7ec8b525b23b@bootlin.com> (raw)

First patch of this series proposes a new script that tries to detect
variables missing from OE-Core, meta-yocto, and bitbake. It is simple in
design as it just uses 'git grep' for that, plus a few exceptions.

The remaining patches remove variables that have been detected by the
script.
