[PATCH] connman: add alias for connman

[PATCH] connman: add alias for connman

[Zhenbo Gao]

connman get conflicts with networkmanager when building
the project.

here introduce alias virtual/networkmanager for these
two recipes, so setting PREFERRED_PROVIDER to the proper
one can solve the conflicts.

this patch is for connman recipe.

This will create a conflict whenever virtual/networkmanager is not
provided by connman. It's probably safe to remove this line, though,
because the ethernet plugin package is virtual, too (see connman.inc above).

We do not use the virtual/* namespace in package dependencies, only in
the build time DEPENDS/PROVIDES space. This is because there is no way
to indicate how the package manager should resolve such things amongst
many other reasons.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard & Andreas,

Thanks for replying this mail.

The situation on my side is: if my project include connman and 
networkmanager at the same time, the compile step will fail:
...
Computing transaction...error: Can't install 
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-r0.0@corei7_64: unable to install provider for 
networkmanager:
error:     networkmanager-1.0.4-r0.0@corei7_64 conflicts with 
connman-1.30-r0.0@corei7_64
...
The dependence relationship is:
xfce4-power-manager --> networkmanager
packagegroup-self-hosted --> connman

Anyway, the patch is not suitable, Koen Kooi(koen@dominion.thruhere.net) 
has suggested me to fix packagegroup-self-hosted to not specify a 
connection manager.
When i am trying to fix my issue, i was wondering why self-hosted needs 
connman ? if self-hosted really don't need connman, the way provided by 
koen is the best solution for this issue.

The draft patch looks like:
---
--- a/meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-self-hosted.bb
+++ b/meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-self-hosted.bb
@@ -28,8 +28,6 @@ RDEPENDS_packagegroup-self-hosted = "\
      "

  RDEPENDS_packagegroup-self-hosted-host-tools = "\
-    connman \
-    connman-plugin-ethernet \
      dhcp-client \
      e2fsprogs \
      e2fsprogs-e2fsck \

What do you think? is that ok? if so, i will send an official patch for it.

Thanks,
Zhenbo

I don't think self-hosted should include a specific network manager, and
you can also remove dhcp-client whilst you're there.  The image that pulls
in this packagegroup should handle any networking requirements.

Do you mean installing connman and networkmanager at the same time breaks
networking?

Nope, if my project include connman and networkmanager at the same time, 
the compile step will fail:
...
Computing transaction...error: Can't install 
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-r0.0@corei7_64: unable to install provider for 
networkmanager:
error:     networkmanager-1.0.4-r0.0@corei7_64 conflicts with

...
The dependence relationship is:
xfce4-power-manager --> networkmanager
packagegroup-self-hosted --> connman

Anyway, the patch is not suitable, Koen Kooi has suggested me another 
way to solve my problem.

Thanks,
Zhenbo
