Guest1Hi everyone,07:45
Guest1I have a question about maintaining a recipe with multiple version of the underlying software package.07:45
Guest1Let's say I have written a custom syslog deamon myself and released it with version 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Each version had a different format for its syslog.conf file. Is it possible to keep the recipe.bb file the same while adding the syslog.conf file specific to each version. I saw that some recipes do sth. like this:07:45
Guest1├─ custom-syslog-recipe-folder07:45
Guest1│  ├─ files07:45
Guest1│  │  ├─ 1.0/07:45
Guest1│  │  │  └─ syslog.conf07:45
Guest1│  │  ├─ 2.0/07:45
Guest1│  │  │  └─ syslog.conf07:45
Guest1│  │  ├─ 3.0/07:45
Guest1│  │  │  └─ syslog.conf07:45
Guest1│  └─ custom-syslog-recipe.bb07:45
Guest1The target would be to have one recipe for multiple software versions and include the wanted software version within my images with PREFERRED_VERSION_custom-syslog-recipe.07:45
Guest1Is this supported out-of-the-box or do I need to add this behaviour within my recipe bb file?07:45
*** alperak is back07:51
neachdainnYou're probably better off doing versioning correctly at that point. That being said, there isn't anything stopping you from referring to the version-specific file from a particular version of the recipe07:51
neachdainnYou won't get it for free, but you'll get it for pretty cheap07:51

Guest1> You're probably better off doing versioning correctly at that point.07:56
Guest1Can you elaborate a bit on this?07:56
Guest1Do you mean including the version-specific syslog.conf file within the source code? Although than I wouldn't be able to adjust it to my needs while compiling the recipe (hmmm...).07:56
*** awafaa is back08:02
mckoanGuest1: the model used by bitbake is this08:05
mckoan├─ custom-syslog-recipe-folder08:06
mckoan│  │  ├─ custom-syslog-recipe-1.0/08:06
mckoan│  │  │  └─ syslog.conf08:06
mckoan│  │  ├─ custom-syslog-recipe-2.0/08:06
mckoan│  │  │  └─ syslog.conf08:06
mckoan│  │  └─ custom-syslog-recipe-3.0/08:06
mckoan│  │     └─ syslog.conf08:06
mckoan│  ├─ custom-syslog-recipe_1.0.bb08:06
mckoan│  ├─ custom-syslog-recipe_2.0.bb08:06
mckoan│  └─ custom-syslog-recipe_3.0.bb08:06
mckoanGuest1: and you can steer it using PREFERRED_VERSION_custom-syslog-recipe = "2.0"08:06
mckoanotherwise you can invent something non orthodox/custom08:06
Guest1ah, yeah, right. Now that you mention it, I remember. Thanks for clearing that up for me :)08:07
RPGuest1: "bitbake-getvar -r bash FILESPATH"  will give you an idea of the paths you can put recipe files in for SRC_URI08:08
RPthere are version specific elements in there08:08
mckoanGuest1: you could play with FILESEXTRAPATHS managing a custom variable to point the source08:09
mckoanFILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/${CUSTOMVERSION}:"08:09
paulbarkerMorning08:12
Guest1Nice, I will play around a bit with those variables to get a better feel for it, thx.08:14
Guest1Just out of curiosity: the same version specific folders should also work for my bbappends, right?08:14
*** prabhakalad <prabhakalad!~prabhakar@97e54365.skybroadband.com> has joined #yocto08:14
Guest1In the sense that I e.g. bbappend to nftables from meta-networking and use the same version-driven folder structure to include my version-dependant nftables config. So than I only need to include PREFERRED_VERSION_nftables = "1.0.6" and it should automatically include the correct config files.08:20
Guest1*for that version08:20
RPGuest1: you'd have to put something in the bbappends to add the local path to the search path08:21
RPyou can certainly add something version specific08:21
Guest1ah, yeah, probably adding sth. like file://${PV}/nftables.conf or so should do. Or is the search path what you and mckoan meantioned before with the FILESPATH and FILESEXTRAPATHS variables?08:26
Guest1*mentioned08:26

Guest1yeah, I think https://docs.yoctoproject.org/scarthgap/ref-manual/variables.html#term-FILESEXTRAPATHS pretty much answers my question.08:34
