BSPs and duplicate files

BSPs and duplicate files

[João Henrique Freitas]

Hi,

Two questions:

With some BSPs, like

meta
meta-myhardware
meta-mydistro

I need to create a conf/checksums.ini for every BSP or append it to
meta/conf/checksums.ini ? In other others, checksums.ini is per BSP or
unique?

In my meta-myhardware I have a kernel too:

meta-myhardware/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc
meta-myhardware/recipes-kernel/linux/linux_2.6.22.bb

The file meta-myhardware/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc is the some of
meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc. Is any way to use a unique file
instead of duplicate it?

I'm not sure about this one, hopefully someone else can help you here.

You can include files from the core metadata by using a path relative to
the meta/ directory, such as:

require recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc

Poky still uses checksums.ini? OE moved the checksums to the recipes and 
this seems make things much easier to work with.

We'll be switching to recipe-based checksums soon in master, and in fact 
you'll notice that most of our recipes already have checksums in them. 
It's just a matter of importing the code from OE and making whatever 
tweaks might be necessary.

Good to know. I don't think one approach is technically better than the 
other, but when you have a "large" community, it seemed like one 
checksum file lead to merge conflicts.
