3776 If multiple recipes provide an item, this variable
3777 determines which recipe should be given preference.
3778 You should always suffix the variable with the name of the
3779 provided item, and you should set it to the
3780 <link linkend='var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link>
3781 of the recipe to which you want to give precedence.

3797 you want to select, and you should set to the
3798 <link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>
3799 accordingly for precedence.
3800 You can use the "<filename>%</filename>" character as a
3801 wildcard to match any number of characters, which can be
3802 useful when specifying versions that contain long revision
3803 numbers that could potentially change.
