FAQ:What do I need to do when changing classes

2011-11-22T12:49:05Z

Rakoenig: A problem that I encountered with mime.class yesterday

'''Q:''' What do I need to do when changing classes? Classes are inherited by recipes but don't have a ''PR'' variable to track a version of the class file. So to make sure that packages which inherit the class are going to be rebuild I need to do what?

'''A:''' Actually I'm erasing the contens of the build directory, but that can't be the solution.

FAQ:What do I need to do when I change my recipe to ensure that the changes make it to the image

2011-11-22T12:46:07Z

Rakoenig: Tried to answer this

'''Q''': What do I need to do when I change my recipe to ensure that the changes make it in to the image?

'''A:''' Update the PR variable in your recipe.

'''Explanation:''' Every recipe has a variable ''PR'' that holds the current release version of this recipe. If you do modifications on the recipe you need to increase the PR variable as well. Example:

Before modification of your recipe:
<PRE>
PR = "r2"
</PRE>

After modification after modification:
<PRE>
PR = "r3"
</PRE>

Bitbake tracks the release versions of every recipe and if the version increases it rebuilds the package(s) for that recipe.

Frequently asked questions about the Yocto projcet.

Idea was created by reading on the Yocto mailing list.

The basic idea of this FAQ is that every question has its own page and is member of the Category FAQ. If there is no good answer yet the page should be also member of the Category FAQ-open. If the question is answered the Category FAQ-open should be removed and it should be a member of the category FAQ-answered.

Advantages:
- Developers who have knowledge can frequently browse through the FAQ-open category to see if they can answer questions.
- People seeking for answers can add their question to FAQ-open.
- All FAQ entries are listed in this FAQ category page.
