From 047790941efeac01bf8c5ecec6625a48c4cbbfb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 08:43:03 -0700 Subject: ref-manual: Updated the RDEPENDS variable description. Fixes [YOCTO #10445] Pointed out that the EXTENDPKGV variable is hard to locate in the BB manual. Firstly, we don't document that variable in the BB manual.... maybe we should. For the ref-manual, however, it is barely referenced in a side example from the dev-manual. So, I updated the RDEPENDS variable to have a "Tip" box in the area where it is shown how to use the package version as part of the RDEPENDs variable.
