**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 25 02:59:58 2016 Jul 25 08:37:46 morning Jul 25 08:49:14 Can I append to RDEPENDS for a specific package from my distro.conf ? Jul 25 08:55:33 jkroon_: in theory you should be able to using _pn- yes Jul 25 08:58:16 bluelightning, yeah, that seems to work for PACKAGECONFIG but it seems Bitbake complains when using it with RDEPENDS for some reason.. anyway, I think I'm doing it wrong. I want to extend core-image-minimal from my distro.conf. A better thing to do would be "IMAGE_INSTALL_append_pn-core-image-minimal" I think ? Jul 25 08:59:09 yes... but why would you do that? shouldn't you just have your own custom image recipe in the distro layer? Jul 25 09:01:48 bluelightning, yeah I should :-) just thought it was kind of nice to keep everything in one distro file Jul 25 09:02:17 well there's "nice" and then there's "ugly hacks" ... ;) Jul 25 09:13:21 It's kind of hard to choose. I do a couple of PACKAGECONFIG_remove's in the distro.conf, instead of several .bbappend's. I thought I'd just apply the same technique for core-image-minimal's IMAGE_INSTALL Jul 25 09:18:06 good morning Jul 25 15:46:49 jkroon_: RDEPENDS uses output package names. Which is different than recipe name Jul 25 15:47:52 So RDEPENDS_ = "dependent ipk names" is what is needd Jul 25 15:47:57 e.g. Jul 25 20:19:33 hello Jul 25 20:19:55 ive been using recipetool appendsrcfile to modify a new layer i'm making Jul 25 20:20:23 ive noticed there is not a recipetool appendimg like subcommand Jul 25 20:21:13 is it just a matter of adding a recipes-image dir and in there adding a .bb file if I want to add files to the image as a result of the new layer? Jul 25 20:23:04 "the" image doesn't make much sense Jul 25 20:23:08 your image, so extend it Jul 25 20:23:40 don't look a core-image-base or whatever as something you should append and tweak, just copy whatever image is close to what you want and then start changing it Jul 25 20:23:43 manually or is there a recipetool command to do it? Jul 25 20:23:55 ok so copy by hand Jul 25 20:23:59 yeah just use cp Jul 25 20:24:04 many thanks Jul 25 20:24:19 i wonder if we shoud rename core-image-*.bb to example-image.bb to make that clear :) Jul 25 23:38:02 rburton: yocto-reference-image **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 26 02:59:58 2016
