Re: Documentation: Default FILESDIR
Rifenbark, Scott M <scott.m.rifenbark@...>
Darren,
Please look at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#platdev-appdev-insitu in the YP Reference manual. This is the section you refer to in this mail. The link in this latest version correctly goes to the referenced Quilt section, which has significantly changed. The little paragraph you quote below is now basically part of the 9-step Quilt process in the YP Dev manual (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#using-a-quilt-workflow).
Can you look at these two sections now and then provide me with FILESPATH information so I can create a glossary entry for the item and possibly work the use of FILESPATH into the updated Quilt section?
Thanks,
Scott

mostly empty handed. The one glipse of it is in section 5.1.4 of the
Reference Manual:
"
It is useful when making changes directly to the work directory files to
do so using the Quilt tool as detailed in the Modifying Package Source
Code with Quilt section. Using Quilt, you can copy patches into the
recipe directory and use the patches directly through use of the SRC_URI
variable.

Unfortunately, this doesn't say where the recipe directory is and what
it should be named.
Is this documented somewhere that I missed? If not, Scott can you add
this task to your list of doc gaps?
