You cannot use the wildcard character in any other location of the name." that *appears* to suggest that you can have one (and exactly one) "%" before the ".bbappend" suffix. so how does that explanation cover examples in some of the OE layers like: meta-security/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-%_5.%.bbappend meta-anaconda/recipes-gnome/gtk+/gtk+3_%.%.%.bbappend rday --8323328-1220412624-1617565873=:8705--
