587 <note>
588 You can use the <filename>WARN_QA</filename> and
589 <filename>ERROR_QA</filename> variables to control the behavior of
590 these checks at the global level (i.e. in your custom distro
591 configuration).
592 However, to skip one or more checks in recipes, you should use
593 <filename>INSANE_SKIP</filename>.
594 For example, to skip the check for symbolic link
595 <filename>.so</filename> files in the main package of a recipe,
596 add the following to the recipe.
597 You need to realize that the package name override, in this example
598 <filename>${PN}</filename>, must be used:
599 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
600 INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"
601 </literallayout>
602 Please keep in mind that the QA checks exist in order to detect real
603 or potential problems in the packaged output.
604 So exercise caution when disabling these checks.
