packaging documentation

Hi:

 

I've been trying to get a better understanding of how packages are generated
by recipes. I found a fairly good explanation in an old OpenEmbedded User's
Manual
(https://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/OE/OE-usermanual.html#recipes_packages).
The manual is hard to find, and doesn't appear to be archive on the
openembedded site (https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Documentation).

 

Can somebody point me to an equivalent discussion in the current Yocto
project documentation?

 

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Have you found the YP Overview and Concepts Manual?  There is a fairly
large section here -
https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6.1/overview-manual/overview-manual.html#openembedded-build-system-build-concepts
that covers build concepts in some detail.  This might help you.

Another idea for finding topics in the YP manual set is to use the YP
Mega-Manual (
https://yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html), which
is a compilation of the set of YP manuals.  You can search the entire set
for terms (e.g. "packag").  It occurs a lot in the set but it is a way to
find all the occurrences.

If you still cannot find satisfactory explanation on how packages are
generated, we can file a bug against the docs and get a good explanation in
there.

Hope this helps,
Scott

Hi Scott:

 

Yes, I’ve been searching in the mega manual, and I’ve read the section in the overview manual. The old OE Manual explanation was more what I was looking for. It seems that has been lost somewhere along the way. Filing a bug against the docs sounds like a good idea – I’m not sure how to do that.

 

Thanks.

Hey Steve,

Ok - I will file this later today so you don't need to worry about it.  I
will use "Need better explanation of how recipes create packages" as the
topic.  I will add you to the CC list so you can track it.

Thanks for helping with finding issues with the docs.

Scott
