Hi Armin,

I don't know if you've noticed, but it looks like this caused an issue
with the current world build:

Author: Armin Kuster <akuster808@gmail.com>

I'll see if I can reproduce it, it's not obvious to me on the surface
why this would be an issue with your patch.

I noticed it because the commit log was updated when I was cherry
picking out of master-next, that's how I found it.  :)

Maybe it's freaked out being moved closer to dnsmasq or something.
We'll see.

Shouldn't it have polkit as build time dependency (3rd argument, not 4th)

Also the subject is wrong, it's networkmanager, not networkingmanager.

if something is added to RDEPENDS it automatically gets added to DEPENDS too

No that's not true.

RDEPENDS adds dependency only between do_package tasks for build time
dependency you need do_configure depending on do_populate_sysroot

its do_build which will depend on do_package_write task in case of RDEPENDS
and do_package_write task will then recurse further to build it.

backtracking on warning

WARNING: QA Issue: networkmanager rdepends on polkit, but it isn't a
build dependency? [build-deps]

its confusing to me. It says 'rdepends' but then expects it in
build-dependency and not build-rdep or somesuch

but lets say it depends on buildtime then I agree adding it to third
place is needed and may be adding to 4th place too
if shlib is not detecting it.

It says "rdepends" because that dependency was added by shlib providers
code to RDEPENDS. But that means that some binary is linked against
library provided by polkit -> it's build time dependency autodetected in
do_configure -> needs polkit in DEPENDS.

It needs it only in 3rd, because shlib code works correctly, otherwise you
wouldn't see this QA warning.

In other words the QA check warns about runtime dependencies being added
by shlibs code without having their providers in build time dependencies.

for me the warning went away with the current change but I guess I 
didn't poke it enough.

I will change it to both places.

        <section id='build-dependencies'>
            <title>Build Dependencies</title>

            <para>
                BitBake uses the
                <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
                variable to manage build time dependencies.
                The "deptask" varflag for tasks signifies the task of each
                item listed in <filename>DEPENDS</filename> that must
                complete before that task can be executed.
                Here is an example:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     do_configure[deptask] = "do_populate_sysroot"
                </literallayout>
                In this example, the <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename>
                task of each item in <filename>DEPENDS</filename> must complete before
                <filename>do_configure</filename> can execute.
            </para>
        </section>


        <section id='runtime-dependencies'>
            <title>Runtime Dependencies</title>

                <link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link>, and
                <link linkend='var-RRECOMMENDS'><filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename></link>
                variables to manage runtime dependencies.
            </para>

            <para>
                The <filename>PACKAGES</filename> variable lists runtime
                packages.
                Each of those packages can have <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> and
                <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> runtime dependencies.
                The "rdeptask" flag for tasks is used to signify the task of each
                item runtime dependency which must have completed before that
                task can be executed.
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     do_package_qa[rdeptask] = "do_packagedata"
                </literallayout>
                In the previous example, the <filename>do_packagedata</filename>
                task of each item in <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> must have
                completed before <filename>do_package_qa</filename> can execute.
            </para>
        </section>


so again, RDEPENDS isn't good enough for build time dependencies

This is correct. Even an explicit RDEPENDS within the recipe does not add any 
dependency from do_configure on do_populate_sysroot, so if there is a build 
time dependency you definitely need DEPENDS as well.

I do agree though that the warning message needs improvement in order to be as 
clear as possible.

Cheers,
Paul
