Hi,
There's something that has always been missing in my experience of Yocto,
it's the ability to simply configure files with yocto variables.
Basically the idea is to have a class that will automatically sed all
variables from yocto inside a file using a delimiter, or to reuse the way
it is done with .wks.in with the ${var} syntax, even if I can already see
some limitations with shell scripts.
What I intend to do is to provide some variables to a recipe and then to
use them to complete a template.
For instance I'd like to put some stuff inside my machine.conf and want
those variables to be filled inside my templated script.
Is there any official way to do this?
As far as I can see there's not, the only examples I've found are using
hand made seds. But I might not be looking in the right place.
If I'm right, I'm wondering why this is not generalized inside a poky
class. I've found this meta :
https://github.com/coreycothrum/meta-bitbake-variable-substitution doing
exactly what I needed, but since it's not mainline I assume that as always
there's a good reason why it's not something you want to have in mainline.
If that's only because there wasn't any submission and If you're up for it
going mainline, I can work (with coreycothrum if he wants to?) it through
the patch submission process.
Best regards,
Yann CARDAILLAC,
