It is common for a recipe to provide two versions -- a stable,
|
||||
numbered (and preferred) version, and a version that is
|
||||
automatically checked out from a source code repository that
|
||||
is considered more "bleeding edge" but can be selected only
|
||||
explicitly.

For example, in the OpenEmbedded codebase, there is a standard,
|
||||
versioned recipe file for BusyBox,
|
||||
<filename>busybox_1.22.1.bb</filename>,
|
||||
but there is also a Git-based version,
|
||||
<filename>busybox_git.bb</filename>, which explicitly contains the line
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1"
|
||||
</literallayout>
|
||||
to ensure that the numbered, stable version is always preferred
|
||||
unless the developer selects otherwise.
