One rpm for all kernel modules

One rpm for all kernel modules

[Prasant J]

Hi,



I'm building my custom layer for imx6 boards. When the kernel is
built, a lot of rpms are generated: kernel image rpm + kernel module
rpms.

Is it possible to have only 1 rpm for kernel modules (instead of
having an rpm for each module)?


Regards, Pj

Check the kernel-modules-split class :-)

What about just kernel-modules?  That will include all kernel modules
that are built with the kernel recipe, but not any modules that
are added on later.

@Otavio: I looked through kernel-modules-split class.

I added PACKAGESPLITFUNC_remove = " split_kernel_module_packages " to
my kernel bbappend recipe. It did not seem to work. (May be I did some
mistake is my recipe)

Is it the correct way to prevent multiple rpms or did you have
something else in mind?
