-   :term:`BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY`
-      Defines how BitBake handles situations where an append file
-      (``.bbappend``) has no corresponding recipe file (``.bb``). This
-      condition often occurs when layers get out of sync (e.g. ``oe-core``
-      bumps a recipe version and the old recipe no longer exists and the
-      other layer has not been updated to the new version of the recipe
-      yet).
-
-      The default fatal behavior is safest because it is the sane reaction
-      given something is out of sync. It is important to realize when your
-      changes are no longer being applied.
-
-      You can change the default behavior by setting this variable to "1",
-      "yes", or "true" in your ``local.conf`` file, which is located in the
-      :term:`Build Directory`: Here is an example::
-
-         BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "1"
