Actually, I was mistaken - it is mentioned in the reference manual:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRC_URI

(FWIW, I'm happy to answer questions even if they are covered by
the manual, this is just an aside ;)

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Laurent,

if you add ;unpack=0 to the end of the entry for the jar file within SRC_URI,
it should prevent it from being unpacked.

(I see we don't have this documented anywhere, I will add it to the
documentation todo list.)

Cheers,
Paul

Hello
In a recipe i'm writing, i need to simply copy a .jar file.
Since it's specified in SRC_URI , bitbake extracts it, making WORKDIR a complete mess, and makes it impossible to copy the .jar file to destination.


How would i go about simply copying it ? Anyway to tell bitbake NOT to extract content of it ?
