I'm going to show my lack of knowledge in this area, but I know this is going to come up when I push a xen.cfg that I apparently never added.

Is it possible to do something along the lines of PACKAGE_CONFIG in the linux-yocto.bbappend?  For example, in the libvirt package one can use PACKAGE_CONFIG to construct a "minimal" build of libvirt.  What would be the method for one to do the same in this package?

kernel configuration fragment use are controlled via the KERNEL_FEATURES variable, and

for anything pre-yocto 1.4 that means an in-tree kernel configuration fragment (I'm still pushing

for the fragments to be maintained in tree, since that allows them to be reused and maintained

more easily).

KERNEL_FEATURES is managed like any other variable in the system, including updating

it via optional/dynamic features as we see fit.

Yes, I imagine that worst case there can be a SRC_URI_distro definition that includes only the .scc files required for that "minimal" image build, but it seems like we want to keep away from that as much as possible being that this isn't a distro layer.

Typically we do this via a base KERNEL_FEATURES specification in the relevant recipe(s), and

distros, or other configurations can override/extend it as required.

Cheers,

Buce

 

Thanks,
Ray
