16 Files that have the <code class="filename">.bb</code> suffix are
17 "recipes" files.
18 In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece
19 of software.
20 This information includes the location from which to download
21 the unaltered source, any source patches to be applied to that
22 source (if needed), which special configuration options to
23 apply, how to compile the source files, and how to package the
24 compiled output.

27 The term "package" is sometimes used to refer to recipes.
28 However, since the word "package" is used for the packaged
29 output from the OpenEmbedded build system (i.e.
30 <code class="filename">.ipk</code> or <code class="filename">.deb</code> files),
31 this document avoids using the term "package" when referring
32 to recipes.
