[00:15] <Darxus> For one ppa, I have three recipes.  The only difference between them is the name of the ubuntu release.  Any chance of getting that for a substitution variable?
[00:47] <Darxus> The symlink thing didn't do it.  This is still driving me nuts.

[00:48] <Darxus> I'm nesting the upstream source lp:~darxus/linux-firmware/+git/trunk which contains a WHENCE file that links to the newer version of this binary:  Link: cxgb4/t4fw.bin -> t4fw-1.24.17.0.bin
[00:53] <Darxus> Okay, with more verbose logging, old symlinks are getting installed, and new ones aren't.  Progress.
[01:31] <Darxus> And yes, it was the problem with not overwriting existing symlinks after all.  A diff against what it looks like with a manual install now returns nothing.  Which is an incredibly useful sanity check.
