[yocto] Creating a new recipe based on another recipe

[Stuart Weaver]

Hi all,

I have a recipe for a package which builds well. I now need to add a patch into certain builds. What is the best way to do this?


1.       Is there a variable I can append the image name to (similar to: SRC_URI_image-name)?


2.       Is there a way of creating a new 'recipe 2' that obtains the details from 'recipe 1' and applies a patch? This way I can then simply add the new recipe into any builds I want and includes any future changes I make to 'recipe 1'. This solution also means not having to continuously reconfigure/recompile the original recipe!



3.       Do I have to do it the hard way and copy the whole .bb file into a new one and make sure everything is in sync when future updates are applied?


Regards,
Stuart Weaver
