[OE-core] problem with blacklisted packages

[OE-core] problem with blacklisted packages

[piotr.lewicki]

Hi,
I'm having problem with some of the recipes which are blacklisted due to 
problems with compilation using GCC-6.

I wonder if there is a way to "whitelist" those packages without 
changing content of original recipe?

For now I have:

GCCVERSION = "5.%"

in my distro.conf so if a recipe is not building due to problems with 
gcc6 I simply edit the recipe and remove the line with PNBLACKLIST.

Is there a better way to deal with those problems?
Can this blacklisting depend on "GCCVERSION" ?

Example of problematic recipe : crda (from crda_3.18.bb)



Thanks,
Piotr Lewicki

I asked this same question last week :-)  I agree that not everyone
is using the leading edge compilers and making those of us have to
take such pains is a bit unfair.

You can override the blacklist to off.  That is what I have been doing.
Put the following in your local.conf or distro conf file.
PNBLACKLIST[crda] = ""

Awesome.
Then maybe some comment should be added to 
meta/classes/blacklist.bbclass for clarity.
Like this:

# * Package can be unblacklisted by setting:
#   PNBLACKLIST[pn] = ""
#
