brief-yoctoprojectqs: use new CDN mirror for sstate

2023-10-25T14:51:01+00:00

Recommended instead of the Yocto Project mirror, because expected to be faster. Make sure you only set one such mirror. (From yocto-docs rev: fbf020e19a47b4a4bf6c4f12ecabab6fce572d66) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker CC: richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman

dev-manual: layers: Add notes about layer.conf

2023-10-25T14:51:01+00:00

As discussed before with Richard Purdie, the code supports this but the documentation does not. Developers in general will not notice this or focus on it because they do not mess with the layer.conf template file, but in my opinion I think more details can help.

ref-manual: variables: provide no-match example for COMPATIBLE_MACHINE

2023-10-25T14:51:01+00:00

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is used to forbid the use of a recipe or its packages for a specific set of machines. In some cases, it may make more sense to have the logic inverted and have the recipe always forbidden except for hand-picked machines. Such could be the case for pieces of software that only support some architectures. In that scenario, it is sometimes a bit easier on the eye and for maintenance to use the OVERRIDES mechanism but for that, a default should be set. COMPATIBLE_MACHINE:aarch64 = "^(aarch64)$" COMPATIBLE_MACHINE:mips64 = "^(mips64)$" wouldn't do much because if COMPATIBLE_MACHINE isn't set, the recipe is assumed compatible and therefore, if no default is provided we enter that case. Hence, we need to add COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "^$" as default so that it only matches the empty string, which isn't possible for MACHINEOVERRIDES.
