oelint.file.includerelpath

severity: warning

Example

include ../../include-file.inc

Why is this bad?

This makes assumptions about the layout, how layers are stored on the storage of the local workspace. If now someone places the files in a different layout, the include will be broken.

Ways to fix it

Use a relative path from the layer root instead

include recipes-something/some-path/include-file.inc
