Another story of a non upstream user of poky

Another story of a non upstream user of poky

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi,

todays story is adding a 'interfaces' to netbase.


$ touch sysmocom/recipes-core/netbase/netbase-4.45/alix/interfaces

$ vi sysmocom/recipes-core/netbase/netbase_4.45.bbappend
FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}"], d)}:"
PRINC = "1"

$ bitbake netbase


So does it work? The answer is no. Why doesn't it work? meta-yocto already has
a bbappend file? How to solve it? Use different names? Automatically add
FILESPATH for bbappends?

comments?

touch oe-core/meta/recipes-core/netbase/netbase_4.45.bb to force a reparse. bbappends only get parsed if the main recipe changed.

thanks, the problem is with meta-yocto in this case, there is
netbase_4.45.bbappend in there, so THISDIR is not what I think it is when
using it, or such.

THISDIR should be correct at parse time; if not, something's wrong. After 
that, it won't of course. (Hence my use of := in my example; I suspect your 
use of =. is why your example didn't work).

For koen I just wanted to day that I know that my bbappend was parsed (PRINC
and bogus stuff has effect on parsing)

THISDIR is set by the netbase_4.45.bbappend of meta-yocto, I assume that this
should not be done and one should use the form you proposed throughout the layers?

Correct, and this has already been done in master.

ah sorry, I should rebase my poky base.

Wrong, that bug has been fixed in bitbake! :)

I'd be in favour of automatically handling this somehow, but there might be 
concerns that make that impractical, I'm not sure.

Anyway, the canonical method for doing this with OE-core/Poky, based on your 
example, is:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}:"

Paul

this works nicely, I think the THISDIR assignment should be removed from
meta-yocto though. Now there appears to be one more bug, PACKAGE_ARCH is not
set to the MACHINE_ARCH even after the right interfaces is used. Is that known?

Hmm, you're right, this is an omission. Presumably for meta-yocto this should 
be PACKAGE_ARCH_beagleboard = "${MACHINE_ARCH}" ?

OE should be doing that automatically since something in SRC_URI is getting pulled from a machine specific dir.

Set the layer priority for sysmocom/ higher than meta-yocto
