[PATCH 0/3] Feature to use symbolic links to binaries for ptest

[PATCH 0/3] Feature to use symbolic links to binaries for ptest

[Mariano Lopez]

Some binaries are renamed by update-alternatives class at build time
and some ptest run against a binary belonging to another package. Take
for example busybox or util-linux.

This series adds a directory within the ptest path with symlinks to the
binaries produced by the package, so just adding this directory to the
PATH will test the correct binaries.

To use this feature just add PTEST_BINDIR = "1" to the recipe.

This will help to solve bug 13238.

[YOCTO #13238]

The following changes since commit ffa5a1bda6741f5dc9f1b8db1bb37b0c6f103c99:

  asciidoc: specify XML catalogue to use (2019-04-03 14:56:27 +0100)

are available in the Git repository at:

  ptest.bbclass: Add feature to populate a binary directory

[Burton, Ross]

Can you also port busybox to this instead of its own hand-coded logic?

Sure, can you integrate this in the while I work on the busybox one? I'll
do it as part of bug 12597 that is also assigned to me

Thanks for pointing that out! The busybox recipe provided me
insight on how to implement this series in a cleaner way.
I refactor the code and the v2 of the series can be found here:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-April/280981.html

Please do not integrate this series

Thanks again Ross!
