X-BeenThere: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list List-Id: Patches and discussions about the oe-core layer List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 20:54:42 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII i've just been handed a list of about 200 perl packages by their centos rpm names, and i want to map most, if not all, of them to their equivalent OE package names. my first instinct (based on not having used a lot of perl OE packages) is to add both "perl" and "perl-modules" to IMAGE_INSTALL, just to fetch and build every possible module available through the OE perl recipe -- that will at least give me an idea of what's available. next, i can see the pattern in some OE package names -- i've verified that the Time::HiRes package is available in OE as perl-module-time-hires, which i assume is part of the dynamic naming being done in perl_5.22.1.bb. am i approaching this the right way? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
