Subject: [PATCH] doc: use "+=" for BBFILE* assignments in layer.conf example
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:14:38 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e02ce72-29bb-272c-fece-49be130611aa@crashcourse.ca> (raw)
In a layer.conf file, assignments to BBFILES and BBFILE_COLLECTIONS
should use "+=", not just "=". Even though this is just an example,
it should still be correct.
