just being pedantic again ... doc for DISTRO: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/variables.html#term-DISTRO notes: "If the DISTRO variable is blank, a set of default configurations are used, which are specified within meta/conf/distro/defaultsetup.conf also in OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)." suggesting that this is acceptable. but from bitbake.conf: # An empty distro leads to :: entries in OVERRIDES and FILEOVERRIDES which # is a bad idea. Setting a dummy value is better than a ton of anonymous python. DISTRO ??= "nodistro" should the ref manual entry also suggest that setting this to "" is also a bad idea? rday
