how to exclude files when packaging?

how to exclude files when packaging?

[Ni Qingliang]

Hello, All:
	I'm working on opensaf, wrote a bb file for it,
and found that the FILES_${PN} has included /usr/lib/${PN}/*.
but there are some .a and .so(symlink) in /usr/lib/${PN}, which will
result QA issue.
	how to exclude some files (e.g. *.a, *.so) in FILES_${PN}?

	there are some elf in /usr/lib/${PN} whose prefix is not 'lib', so if
no 'exclude' feature, I must redefine FILES_${PN} like this:
	FILES_${PN} = "/usr/lib/${PN}/*.so.* \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/saf* \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/open* \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/immload \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/nid_tipc \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/smf* \
                       /usr/lib/${PN}/clc-cli/*"

Explicitly list what you want in FILES_${PN}

FILES_${PN} = /usr/lib/${PN}/saf

Make another PACKAGE for other files

PACKAGES =+ ${PN}-misc
FILES_${PN}-misc = /usr/lib/${PN}/saf

Maybe someone else can chime in if there is a way to mask certain files...

Be carefull with order of packages in PACKAGES usually you need it from
most specific files pattern to less specific and the problem above is
related to this:

http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-October/011283.html

which wasn't applied, so yes you have to redefine whole FILES_${PN} or
the part you need for your app, like I did for syslog-ng
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-October/035607.html

No,

QA would always complain. For all files you do not want to package make a do_install_append()
and remove them inside this function.

Another solution would be to tweak the buildsystem of the software, not to install the unwanted
files.

I still think that the 'exclude" feature would be better.:)

IMHO an exclude function would simply be an automated rm -f <list> at the end of 
the install process.

It should be fairly easy to implement this if someone thinks it's a better idea 
then making individual recipes run a rm -f of their own.

I wonder if, in general, it'd be useful to implement glob exclusions.
In other words, our list of patterns could become more like a
.gitignore file:
/foo/*
!/foo/bar

I considered that early on in the Yocto Project work -- but decided against it 
due to simply the complications required to ensure that the patterns worked as 
the end user expected them.

I know the bitbake back end and OE classes have matured since then, it may be 
easier to implement now -- if so I'm certainly interested in this.

please replace all occurrences of '/usr/lib' with '${libdir}'

Re: how to exclude files when packaging?

[Ni Qingliang]

Oh, my fault.

I defined another var: opensaflibmiscdir
osaflibsvcdir = "${libdir}/${PN}"
FILES_${PN} = "${osaflibsvcdir}/lib*.so.* ${osaflibsvcdir}/clc-cli/* \
                  ${osaflibsvcdir}/immload ${osaflibsvcdir}/nid_tipc \
                  ${osaflibsvcdir}/osaf* ${osaflibsvcdir}/opensaf* \
                  ${osaflibsvcdir}/smf*"
FILES_${PN}-dev = "${osaflibsvcdir}/lib*.so ${osaflibsvcdir}/*.la"
FILES_${PN}-staticdev = "${osaflibsvcdir}/*.a"
