**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 26 02:59:59 2015 Apr 26 17:43:01 hi, is there a tool which can convert bb recipes into debian debuild ones? Apr 26 17:45:50 jeroen: you could ask other way around even that is uncertain Apr 26 17:47:21 khem`: agreed, but basically I am dreaming of a any to any converting tool... Apr 26 17:47:44 khem`: and I am quite sure it will end in a nightmare, but anyway Apr 26 17:47:57 may be you can ask debian community you stand a better chance there Apr 26 17:48:09 or even better write your own Apr 26 17:50:40 khem`: I'll have a look Apr 26 17:52:49 khem`: does oe know the name of the corresponding debian package? Apr 26 17:53:55 khem`: ah damn, and with the package-split thing it likely isn't a one-to-one mapping... Apr 26 17:54:14 mostly not Apr 26 18:02:30 khem`: perhaps I should take a step back... Apr 26 18:03:34 khem`: I assume that even though oe can produce .deb files, they can't be installed on a debian system since dependencies, versions etc will differ Apr 26 18:04:25 khem`: if you want that to work, you need an almost exact copy of the oe recipes as debian uses, correct? Apr 26 18:05:24 khem`: or is there some runtime magic which can fix this? Apr 26 18:16:12 I dont think the motive is to generate debs for debian based systems Apr 26 18:16:26 so you are starting on wrong foot if you are assuming that Apr 26 18:16:51 dpkg is just another package management tool that is an option in OE Apr 26 18:17:01 along with rpm and opkg Apr 26 18:17:09 and may be more in future Apr 26 18:20:49 jeroen: for best results just write debian packages for whatever you need that is in OE but not in debian Apr 26 18:20:56 look at recipes for help Apr 26 18:20:58 and move on Apr 26 19:18:48 khem`: thanks, I will duplicate this stuff again then, it is a bit a pity it is needed Apr 26 19:53:27 jeroen: just because you have a .deb doesn't mean it can safely be installed on a debian system. that's always true. just as it's not safe or sane to grab random rpms from one rpm-based distribution and install them on another. package names aren't the same, versions aren't necessarily the same, etc Apr 26 19:53:51 as always, you could *try* it, but results are never guaranteed to be what you want Apr 26 22:27:22 jama navit seems to build for me on armv7. I'm confused Apr 26 22:57:51 running a qemuarm build now **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 27 02:59:59 2015
