How to include RPM database into target image?

How to include RPM database into target image?

[Alex J Lennon]

Presumably this is very obvious, apologies, but I can't track down the 
answer.

I'm building a distro based on Yocto for a Raspberry Pi but I don't seem 
to have
the RPM database / sample feeds installed on the target image.

Having hunted around and googled I can't spot the environment variable or
recipe I presumably need to set/include.

Can anybody advise?

Many Thanks,

Alex

You only need to ensure that "package-management" is present in 
IMAGE_FEATURES. You can do this from local.conf by adding the following to it:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management"

This will ensure the package manager's database (RPM if you've selected RPM 
packaging) is preserved, but won't set up any sample feeds. The latter would 
need to be done manually or via ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND.

Cheers,
Paul

Many thanks - that seems to do the trick. And Happy New Year!
