oelint.vars.descriptionsame

severity: warning

Example

In my-recipe_1.0.bb

SUMMARY = "ABC"
DESCRIPTION = "ABC"

Why is this bad?

DESCRIPTION defaults to SUMARRY in the standard Yocto project configuration. No need to set both to the same value.

Ways to fix it

Set DESCRIPTION to a different value than SUMMARY or remove DESCRIPTION entirely.
