[[Versioning Policy|Use $packagename_$version.bb]]
 
= Format Guidelines =
 
* No spaces are allowed behind the line continuation symbol
* Use quotes on the right hand side of assignments: FOO = "BAR"
* Comments inside bb files are allowed using the '#' character at the beginning of a line.
* Use either tabs '''or''' spaces for indentation, but don't mix the two in the same file
* The correct spacing for a variable is FOO = "BAR".
* Indentation of multiline variables such as SRC_URI is desireable.
 
= Style Guidelines =
 
* Put the ''inherit'' declaration after the initial variables are set up and before any custom ''do_'' routines. This is flexible as ordering is often important.
 
* If you define custom ''do_'' routines, keep them in the order of the tasks being executed, that is:
** do_fetch
** do_unpack
** do_patch
** do_configure
** do_compile
** do_install
** do_package
** do_stage
 
* Don't use ''cp'' to put files into staging or destination directories, use ''install'' instead.
* Don't use ''mkdir'' to create destination directories, use ''install -d'' instead.
 
* There is a standard set of variables often found in a .bb file and the preferred order (to make the file easily readable to seasoned developers) is
** DESCRIPTION
** AUTHOR
** HOMEPAGE
** SECTION
** PRIORITY
** LICENSE
** DEPENDS
** RDEPENDS
** RRECOMMENDS
** RSUGGESTS
** PROVIDES
** RPROVIDES
** RCONFLICTS
** SRCDATE
** PV
** PR
** SRC_URI
** S
** inherit ...
** build class specific variables, i.e. EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_POST
** task overrides, i.e. do_configure
** PACKAGE_ARCH
** PACKAGES
** FILES
