OK, looking at the settings you've listed, I think these are the kinds of things that site.conf was invented for - stuff that is specific not to the builds you are doing but to the host machine /

and if you want major industry players to take yocto seriously, the last thing you want to do is answer their heartfelt pleas for assistance with, "i'm sorry, that's technically not a yocto

ok, that makes sense. but would it also make sense for bitbake to perhaps support another option that *does* allow personal content to, say, be effectively appended to one's local.conf. for

Thanks for adding the annotation to the WDD chart on how you compute it. :-)

Kooen's cheeky point is worth keeping in mind though; the Yocto naming semantics is not very helpful ;-) Specifically most of the questions being asked on the Yocto list are about Poky, not Yocto,

I guess it depends on what you mean by "personal content". Certain settings are really part of distro policy and if you're finding that you're setting them all the time for all of the builds that

I am going to run through the B.1 example verbatim from the "current" version of the manual and see what happens. Scott

And I'm configuring a test right now and will create a denzil branch, once I see it works. Cheers, Bruce

This is a good point. In looking at the example it does not say what branch you should be dealing with for poky-extras.

i thought that was the technique for centralizing personal config preferences that you *didn't* want to manually copy into every local.conf file you created. if you add that personal content

Aha. In this case, we could note that the poky-extras repo branch should match the main repository branch .. and I could ensure that meta-kernel-dev works in that configuration. That's likely the

Just looking at that page, a couple of items spring to mind: 1) Why are you pointing people to the prefile/postfile options in preference to just putting the "common, personal configuration" in

I was using Denzil because the snapshot noted in the example does not exist. So there is another doc issue. I can always test on Master, but the docs need to be update to reflect something that will

Kind of, except most but not all FAQ questions really fit into "How do I...". Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre

This one is actually fixed on master, but poky-extras .. is just that 'extra', so this may still be alive in that repo. This wouldn't need to be documented, since it's a bug/issue, and not something

I think some text needs to be added. I uncommented the SRC_URI line and I still fail building the image. The failure is related to kernel tools: ERROR: kern-tools-native: md5 data is not matching

It's worth noting, and I can make sure that the comments in the recipes reflect this as well. My comments within the individual bbappends may not be noticed, or may be less obvious when you look at

Great! Thanks Robert.
