Is there a recipe for evtest package?

Is there a recipe for evtest package?

[Brian Hutchinson]

Hi,

Looking for the evtest package in Yocto.  Is there a meta data layer I
can checkout that has it?

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Your best bet is to adapt the one from meta-oe here:

Jack.

Hi Jack,

I'm still trying to get up-to-speed on how to work with Yocto ....
would adding this layer be just like adding say poky extras?

Brian

Thanks!,  I'll look into that.

I had an OE based checkout so I just bitbaked the linux-input recipe
for speed.  I do want to figure out how to do this in Yocto though so
thank for pointing me in the right direction.  I didn't want to
reinvent the wheel if there was already some established way of doing
it that I just wasn't seeing.

Regards,

Brian

Yes, although other issues can present itself. If you start using
meta-oe you need to make sure you pick one that is compatible with
your oe-core layer.

Just to wrap this up, I was suggesting he take a single recipe from 
meta-oe, bring it into his own layer and adapt it to fit the Yocto build 
environment.

I would be interested to know, how Yocto and OE are working together. Is 
the aim of the game to merge features upstream to OE and then on the 
back of that packages in meta-oe will be easier to transfer into a Yocto 
layer? I try to keep on top of the OE mailing lists but as I'm sure you 
know they're much higher volume than this list and are often solely 
patch based rather than discussion.

Cheers,
Jack.
