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. | ||
25 | </p> | ||
26 | <p> | ||
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. | ||
