listing PACKAGES for a certain layer

listing PACKAGES for a certain layer

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

Is there a way to list packages provided by a certain layer/recipe?

thanks

Not layer, but you can get a bunch of info out of oe-pkgdata-util after 
recipes have been built - e.g. once the connman recipe has built you can run:

$ oe-pkgdata-util list-pkgs -p connman
connman-tools
connman-tests
connman-client
connman-dbg
connman-dev
connman-doc
connman

$ oe-pkgdata-util list-pkg-files connman
connman:
        /etc/dbus-1/system.d/connman.conf
        /etc/init.d/connman
        /usr/sbin/connmand

Cheers,
Paul

Do you mean I have to compile the package?

But probably solved in a different way:

get a list of targets from
bitbake-layers show-recipes | grep -B1 '[layer]'

join them with

bitbake -e [target] | grep 'PACKAGES='

there are still some packages coming from PACKAGES_DYNAMIC=
I'm not sure if I'm missing something else.

I'm going to write some shell script that will make things easier after 
I get a better understanding of PACKAGES_DYNAMIC.


This should be the equivalent of
aptitude search '?source-package([package])'

and this is similar (not equal) to:
apt-file find [package]

But debian tools relay on an index and don't need to build stuff.

https://github.com/kergoth/bb 's search subcommand may also be of use.

bb contents seems the thing that is most likely what I'm looking for but 
giving a quick glance to the code it seems to relay on things to be 
already compiled in /tmp/work

bb contents dumps the contents of built packages, that's not at all what
you want. If you want to look at what packages are available before you've
done a build, you need something that uses the PACKAGES and
PACKAGES_DYNAMIC variables, which is what bb-search does. There are other
options, of course, this is just one possibility. There's a usage example
in the readme so you can see if it's what you're looking for.
