just ran across this in the meta-yocto layer but it's a general OE<br>
question -- the psplash_git.bbappend file contains the following<br>
distro-conditional line:<br>
<br>
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend_poky := "${THISDIR}/files:"<br>
<br>
and the accompanying files/ directory has, unsurprisingly, a<br>
poky-specific splash image file, "psplash-poky-img.h".<br>
<br>
but based on how FILESEXTRAPATHS is processed by incorporating all<br>
of the FILESOVERRIDES variations (one of which is the distro name),<br>
would it not have been entirely equivalent to have used simply<br>
<br>
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"<br>
<br>
and placed that splash file in the accompanying directory files/poky/?<br>
would these two approaches do the same thing? is there a preferred<br>
way? that's the only example of that i've seen in all the layers i've<br>
played with.</div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Both would do the same thing, I'm personally of the opinion that the latter would be more consistent with how such things are normally done.<br>
