[patch] packagegroups: Add perl modules to rdeps

[patch] packagegroups: Add perl modules to rdeps

[Deepthi.Hemraj]

From: Deepthi Hemraj <Deepthi.Hemraj@windriver.com>

In SDK,running "x86_64-poky-linux-gp-display-html --help" fails due to missing perl modules which are required for it to work.

Fixes:Can't locate feature.pm in @INC (you may need to install the feature module) and also add all the perl modules to sdk.

perl-modules is a meta-package that pulls in *all* **726** (1) perl 
modules with each one
being ~100KB.

That's adding quite a bit of bloat for a feature that few people need ( 
gp-display-html --help 
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/binutils-common/gp-display-html.1.en.html 
)

We just need perl-modue-feature to get features.pm.

tmp-glibc/work/core2-64-wrs-linux/perl/5.38.0/packages-split/perl-module-feature/usr/lib64/perl5/5.38.0/feature.pm

Can you try again to see if you can require fewer packages please?
If you can explain that you tried adding > 15 perl modules and you still 
don't have all the dependencies,
then we can talk about what to do.

Please confirm that you are able to use gp-display-html to view the 
results of a profiling run.

❯ ls tmp-glibc/work/core2-64-wrs-linux/perl/5.38.0/packages-split/ | rg 
module | wc -l

Hi Randy,

There were a few such failure instances (similar to current issue) we've seen in the past and those were fixed by adding the respective modules. So, to avoid such failure in future 'nativesdk-perl-modules' is added. If that causing memory overhead, this issue will be fixed with only adding the module 'perl-module-feature'. We will send a V2 by adding only that.

Thanks & Regards

Also, your subject is to vague:
    [patch] packagegroups: Add perl modules to rdeps
it should be something like:
   [PATCH] nativesdk-packagegroup-sdk-host: Add perl modules to RDEPENDS


That's 62 characters so still under the limt, iirc.

It's better to be specific, since there are 27 packagegroup files in poky:
poky.git> fd packagegroup.*bb  | wc -l
