Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] nativesdk-packagegroup-sdk-host: optionally add wic
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 10:40:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707144009.708407-4-twoerner@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707144009.708407-1-twoerner@gmail.com>
wic is useful from an installed SDK for assembling or inspecting a wic
image, but adding it is not free: nativesdk-wic pulls in the long list
of host-side tools it might need (parted, gptfdisk, dosfstools, mtools,
bmaptool, grub, btrfs-tools, squashfs-tools, e2fsprogs, util-linux,
tar, erofs-utils, and syslinux on x86). Most SDKs do not need any of
that, so it should not be forced into the host packagegroup
unconditionally.
Add an SDK_INCLUDE_WIC knob, defaulting to "no", that gates
nativesdk-wic in the host packagegroup. A configuration that wants wic
in its SDK opts in with
SDK_INCLUDE_WIC = "yes"
and gets a working wic, together with the tools it invokes, in the SDK;
the default SDK is unchanged.
