Layer priorities & package selection

Layer priorities & package selection

[Gujulan Elango, Hari Prasath (H.)]

Hello all,


We are having two yocto layers in our project. One is SoC specific layer and the other is the meta-ivi. Now we have two packages provided by both these layers. wayland_1.9.0 & weston_1.9.0. We want both these packages from the SoC specific layer and not the ones that are coming from meta-ivi. The reason being that the SoC vendor has done some modifications for hw acceleration and stuff like that. Since meta-ivi is having higher priority( Priority: 7) than the SoC specific layer(Priority : 6) , naturally these packages are provided by meta-ivi and not the Soc layer which we actually want.


How to modify the layer priority without touching the layer specific conf file ? Can we have a append to the layer conf file ?

Try moving the recipe to your layer (provided yours is of higher
priority). I often go with per project BSP layers that adjust the low
level pieces of the target, such as kernel configs etc., while
applications stay in application-only layer.

Another option that I see is to set BBMASK =
"meta-ivi/recipes-graphics/wayland/" in local.conf, but that's a bit
ugly, hence I'd say it's a temporary solution only.

where to find license files?

[Fred Ollinger]

I'm working on getting a list of license files and I don't know where to get the exact text of each license.

Is there a place where this is provided by yocto?

For example, is there some directory which has all the license files?

I see there's an md5sum for each file so I assume this is the case.

Thanks in advance.

After you build an image, look in <BUILD>/tmp/deploy/licenses/*

These are the exact licenses used by your image

You may not be able to say exact since, in some cases, it will copy a
template text of a given license from common templates. so you should
inspect them manually. see the image license manifest and determine
which all packages made into your image and review each one of them

BBMASK does not seem to apply only to local.conf anymore[1], so this 
might not just be a temporary solution.

bbappends only work for recipe metadata not for config metadate space,
so no it wont be possible. You might BBMASK off the meta-ivi recipes.
ideally, its better if SOC layers append to such recipes from common
layers. So you might want to see if that is doable with your SOC layer
then you should propose a patch for your SOC layer to do so.
