oelint.vars.fileextrapaths

severity: warning

Example

In my-recipe_1.0.bb

FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/file"

Why is this bad?

FILESEXTRAPATHS shouldn't be used in a bb file - please stick to the common folder structure provided by Yocto/OE configuration instead. In 99.99999999999% of the cases their is no need to create an additional search path in a recipe.

Ways to fix it

Remove usage of FILESEXTRAPATHS in bb files.
