Packaging problem.

[Rob Kramer <robk@starhub.net.sg>]

Hi all,


I have a problem with my homebrew image, in that it doesn't create several
packages, which results in dependency failures in do_rootfs. I'm using
bitbake 1.8 svn head.

-------------
BB>> build vides-image
SHELL: Building vides-image

On further investigation I found out that bitbake doesn't create ipk
packages for these missing deps. Let's take base-passwd; during do_package,
there's a problem:

-------------

I added a debug statement to see what it is trying to package:

-------------
package.bbclass:404

                filesvar = bb.data.getVar('FILES', localdata, 1) or ""
                files = filesvar.split()
+               bb.note("ROB: pkg: '%s', files: '%s'" % (pkg, filesvar))
                cleandirs = []
-------------

The interesting thing is that in bitbake file-mode everything works, but in
interactive mode it fails (I cleaned before each command):

So, it seems the FILES variable in package.bbclass:404 is not set properly
in the case of interactive mode. I can't find where FILES is set anyway;
the rest of the class uses FILES_${PN}.

Any hints at what I should be looking at?

Cheers!
