In general that email is correct, changes to the variables won't propergate between tasks. There is an exception in the do_package -> do_package_write_xxx process. These use emit_pkgdata() to save the data and read_subpackage_metadata() to read the data back in. Not all variables are covered, but the ones you mention above are. As long as you modify them somewhere during do_package such as adding a function to PACKAGESPLITFUNCS, the changes will persist in the packaging. > I've tried the smallest changes to these 3 fields but without > success, > confirming what was said in the email. > I do manage to get the auto pr data (Version=4.1+git168+a7e53ecc27- > r0.73 - notice r0.73) that I need to version the dependencies. > > At variable loading time I could globally change RDEPENDS, > RRECOMMENDS > and RSUGGESTS but I can't get the auto pr data.

See above, I believe you can change these values and other recipes do this as long as its somewhere within the do_package task.
