Jan 04 10:09:08 <zerus> Hi all. Anyone that have a good idea how to re-set 'S' in a .bb file? I tried using something like: d.setVar('S', '${S2}') in do_unpack but it seems it's only valid within do_unpack in for example do_configure S is the old value set in the beginning of the bb-file again. Will bitbake re-read the file before running each function?

Jan 04 17:56:26 <zerus> kergoth: Ah, that explains the behaviour.. got around the problem by solving it in a different way, but will definitely play around a bit with your suggestion. Thx for learning me a new thing today.. =)
