[yocto] Setting PV dynamically in a recipe

[Brad Litterell]

Hi,

I have a few recipes in my image that represent my own custom code.  I would like to generate PV dynamically from my source code, but since the recipe is parsed before the code is extracted from the tarball, that's not easy to do.

The Poky reference manual implies this is possible:
PV is generally not overridden within a recipe unless it is building an unstable (i.e. development) version from a source code repository (e.g. Git or Subversion).

However, I have not found an actual example. Is there a recommended way to do this?

Thanks,
Brad
