Using site.conf

Using site.conf

I'm a bit confused about the usage of site.conf. I see a sample in the poky
distro area, but I'm not sure how this actually gets copied into a
site.conf and actually used by deployed versions of our distribution.

Is there some extra step I need to take to ensure site.conf.sample from my
own distributions conf directory gets copied and actually used by our
engineers' environments?

yes, you need to do that as part of workspace setup.

Is there an example of this somewhere? I haven't had any luck in
documentation or example code to see how to make the site.conf be used.

site.conf is loaded if it is present in a conf/ directory anywhere.  I have
a meta-ross which contains conf/site.conf, I add that layer to every build
tree and bitbake will read the site.conf.  There's not a lot more to it
really.

Ok thanks! I think I mistakenly thought that I needed to have it be called
site.conf.sample, and it will copy the sample into the .conf file in the
build/conf area.

You don’t want to add a site.conf file in any Layer especially if you are
tweaking a global distri config it would be a bad practice
