[yocto] Samba server?

[Trevor Woerner]

I'm kinda surprised Robert Day hasn't jumped in, I know he's got all
this straightened out :-)

I thought this was not the generally accepted notation. I thought

    IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " samba"

(note the space before 'samba') was better. Having an _append bitbake
option and using += seems a bit redundant.

Sorry, Paul, for only noticing this thread now. I wrote a very quick
bunch of notes when I was going through this as well. Some of these
notes are probably out of date (they were "correct" at the time, but
trying to keep pace with Yocto is isn't easy!) but hopefully there's
something there that might help.

My notes are at:

Specifically item #8 might be useful.

Robert Day wrote lots of notes which you can find starting here:

Tim Bird too has written some good stuff:

I'm sure there are others as well.
