+ <para>When you name an append file, you can use the

+ matching recipe names.
+ For example, suppose you have an append file named as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.%.bbappend
+ </literallayout>
+ That append file would match any
+ <filename>busybox_1.21.</filename><replaceable>x</replaceable><filename>.bb</filename>
+ version of the recipe.
+ So, the append file would match the following recipe names:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.1.bb
+ busybox_1.21.2.bb
+ busybox_1.21.3.bb
+ </literallayout>
+ <note><title>Important</title>
+ The use of the "<filename>%</filename>" character

+ name.
+ You cannot use the wildcard character in any other
+ location of the name.
