is there an easy way to see the actual files that went into a package?

is there an easy way to see the actual files that went into a package?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  if i use "bb show" to examine the files that go into each package
(eg, for "zlib" here), what i get is the collection of wildcards that
will, of course, still be processed when sequentially creating each
package:

$ bb show -r zlib FILES_zlib-dev
Parsing recipes..done.
# FILES_zlib-dev=${includedir} ${FILES_SOLIBSDEV} ${libdir}/*.la
${libdir}/*.o ${libdir}/pkgconfig ${datadir}/pkgconfig
${datadir}/aclocal ${base_libdir}/*.o ${libdir}/${BPN}/*.la
${base_libdir}/*.la
FILES_zlib-dev="/usr/include /lib/lib*.so /usr/lib/lib*.so
/usr/lib/*.la /usr/lib/*.o /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/share/pkgconfig
/usr/share/aclocal /lib/*.o /usr/lib/zlib/*.la /lib/*.la"
$

  is there an equivalently simple way to display the end result of the
contents of each package?

(known issue is that it doesn't display empty directories)

You can use the package manager (opkg, rpm) to ask for this info.

For example, using opkg on an installed image:
   # opkg list-installed
   # opkg files ethtool

You can even run this on an [uninstalled] image.  From your build tree,
the tools are accessible and the image root file system as well.  In the
example above:
   $ tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/opkg-cl -f tmp/work/sabrelite-poky-linux-gnueabi/poky-x11-image/1.0-r0/opkg.conf -o 
tmp/work/sabrelite-poky-linux-gnueabi/poky-x11-image/1.0-r0/rootfs list-installed
   $ tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/opkg-cl -f tmp/work/sabrelite-poky-linux-gnueabi/poky-x11-image/1.0-r0/opkg.conf -o 
tmp/work/sabrelite-poky-linux-gnueabi/poky-x11-image/1.0-r0/rootfs files ethtool

  that's it, that's what i was after, thanks. i should spend more time
playing with "bb", it's turning out to be massively useful.
