Re-add value into EXTRA_OECONF_<name> after it was removed by EXTRA_OECONF_remove_<name>

To configure a component I need to add --enable-feature into EXTRA_OECONF_somename So I tried to do:

EXTRA_OECONF_append_somename = --enable-feature

But it did not help. After investigation it was found that the one of the third-party recipe contains the following line:

EXTRA_OECONF_remove_somename = --enable-feature

I can't modify the third-party recipe.

Is there a way to add --enable-feature into EXTRA_OECONF_somename

Thank you.

I'm afraid not. The _remove operations are always applied last so there is no way to undo them. I would say that the original recipe shouldn't be using it - _remove is intended for distro policy where you want to say "I don't care how this item got in the value, just remove it".

For preference the original recipe should instead it should be using PACKAGECONFIG to control addition (or not) of this feature.
