That's what I thought, too, but what do I know? I tried it with += and no space, and it does indeed work. I have no idea how this stuff is parsed internally. Somehow, it grates on me that underscore is used almost like an operator in BitBake. > Sorry, Paul, for only noticing this thread now.

Thanks. The distinction between recipes and packages is very useful to know.
