Automatic -dbg FILES generation
I don't think I'm alone in being a bit frustrated with the effort needed to get FILES_${PN}-dbg correct. I've just posted a patch to oe -core which automates this and means we can drop 99% of the cases where we set this variable.
I'm giving a heads up here since this is an architectural change to the way the system works and wanted people to be aware of it. I'm hoping it will be welcomed and not too controversial.
Setting FILES_${PN}-dbg doesn't harm anything, it just becomes unnecessary in most cases.
Cheers,
Richard

I'll just say hell yes :) Been hoping one of the implementations of this would get merged, glad to see it happening.
