conf: Refactor template conf files

[lzala]

Renamed templates files to be aligned with TEMPLATECONF.
This change will simplify oe-init-build-env initialization.

e.g.
TEMPLATECONF=meta-bbb/conf . ./oe-init-build-env ../build_bbb/

Hi,

If you consider this change you may update also the tutorial webpage.
TEMPLATECONF=meta-bbb/conf . ./oe-init-build-env ../build_bbb/

Thanks!

[scottellis]

Can you elaborate on what problem this is solving?

Your proposal

$ cd poky-krogoth
$ TEMPLATECONF=meta-bbb/conf . ./oe-init-build-env ../build_bbb/

versus the way it is now

$ . ~/poky-krogoth/oe-init-build-env ~/bbb/build

It automatically parse and copy .sample bblayers.conf and local.conf to build/conf and prints the available targets. Take a look at poky-krogoth/scripts/oe-setup-builddir script.

##OEROOT##/meta-bbb in bblayers is working only if meta-bbb is cloned in poky-krogoth (I think all the layers should be cloned in poky root directory).

You had no conf/local.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been
created for you with some default values. You may wish to edit it to, for
example, select a different MACHINE (target hardware). See conf/local.conf
for more information as common configuration options are commented.

into your configuration please add entries to conf/bblayers.conf.

Shell environment set up for builds.

You can now run 'bitbake '

Common targets are:
console-image
can-console-image
installer-image
qt5-image
qt5-x11-image
x11-image

Hi Lucian,

So basically you want these two files renamed so the oe-setup-builddir
finds them

meta-bbb/conf/bblayer.conf-sample -> meta-bbb/conf/bblayer.conf
meta-bbb/conf/local.conf-sample -> meta-bbb/conf/local.conf

And a new file added

meta-bbb/conf/conf-notes.txt

Though I think it would likely be something more like this for meta-bbb

scott@fractal:~/bbg/meta-bbb/conf$ cat conf-notes.txt
Some custom targets are:

    console-image
    installer-image
    qt5-image

The other recipes in the meta-bbb/images directory are really just me
messing around and I wouldn't trust them to necessarily work.

##OEROOT##/meta-bbb in bblayers is working only if meta-bbb is cloned in
poky-krogoth (I think all the layers should be cloned in poky folder structure).

I don't agree with this.

I have dozens of different boards/projects using the same poky-
repo and I would rather not pollute the poky- directories with
these customer repos.

But this just the way I prefer to work and you can choose differently.

Thanks for taking the time to send this.

Probably this weekend I will make the changes at the top of this email.

I have to fix a bunch of posts on my site as well, so I'll have to wait until
I have time to synchronize this.

Best regards,
Scott
