Customization for nginx

Hi

With jethro, I used to use the following .bbappend to use my config for nginx:

<file name="nginx_1.9.5.bbappend">
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"

</file>

My nginx.conf was inside the corresponding files directory.

Since krogoth, which uses nginx 1.9.14, this does not seem to work any more. My config file is not used any more. The .bbappend file how has the name nginx_1.9.14.bbappend of course.

What could be the reason for this?

Or, alternatively: where can I debug this?

Greetings

This is not an answer to your question but it can be helpful:
You can use a wildcard for version in your bbappend file. If you rename it to:

nginx_1.9.%.bbappend

this will work for both 1.9.5 and 1.9.14.

For debugging I can give you a hint:
try using "-v" switch for bitbake when baking your nginx recipe- this stands for "verbose".

Hi Piotr

Thanks for this hint.

I realized that krogoth delivers two recipes for nginx:

1.9.14 and 1.8.1

And it picks 1.8.1. That's why it does not work.

Now I tried to set

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_nginx = "nginx-1.9.14"

But this does not seem to work.

How do you prefer a provider out of two different versions of a package?
