**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 16 02:59:59 2012 Apr 16 09:20:31 hi Apr 16 09:21:17 is there any documentation/recommandation on how to create an angstrom package, and make a new feed with our own packages ? Apr 16 09:54:38 guyzmo: google about for guides on making OE recipes. As for feed, you can look into the feed config stuff but it is rather 'deb' like for the most part. That said, you may want to ask yourself if your recipes are of use to all Angstrom users (and those of other OE based distros) and in that case push the recipes upstream. Apr 16 10:12:06 DJWillis - mostly not, it for automatic updating of some software we're pre-releasing in a beta test run for an appliance running on angstrom Apr 16 10:12:50 DJWillis - once we release/opensource the software, we will ask for pushing them to upstream Apr 16 10:18:23 guyzmo: using Angstrom/OpenEmbedded-Core? i.e. your own 'in house' layer for your recipes? Apr 16 10:19:17 yup Apr 16 10:19:31 we're actually building an appliance on top of a beaglebone Apr 16 15:14:49 re Apr 16 15:15:10 the documentation about bitbake is totally absent ! Apr 16 15:15:39 for exemple, I'm reading the source of systemd.bbclass to understand what it does Apr 16 15:16:05 and I found out about it, because I came across some patch that mentionned "SYSTEMD_SERVICE=" on a .bb file Apr 16 15:16:28 did I miss something ? is there a more comprehensive documentation about it ? Apr 16 15:20:30 guyzmo: http://gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded/160-bitbake-tutorial.html this is propably the most "comprehensive" that i have come around Apr 16 15:21:12 that how ever soes not mean in any way that there is nothing more comprehensive, but if there is, it would be great to know about it Apr 16 15:21:26 I already read that one Apr 16 15:21:31 and it's a good starting point Apr 16 15:21:42 but at least, if could get a reference Apr 16 15:22:06 I mean, I don't understand if "inherit systemd" will generate the systemd service file Apr 16 15:22:12 or if I have to write it myself Apr 16 15:23:17 but how can I manage the fact that in the bitbake file there can be a DEST variable to output the binary ? Apr 16 15:33:26 guyzmo: can't really comment on doco but recipes always work for me when finding a pattern. Just read some similar recipes and scratch my head and the answers tend to surface. Apr 16 16:21:04 guyzmo: service files won't be generated by that class, you (or the upstream source) need to provide one Apr 16 16:21:31 guyzmo: re docs, yes, we know they are a little incomplete... FYI though the bbclass files are part of OE, not bitbake itself Apr 16 16:21:39 ok Apr 16 16:47:06 bluelightning - and about the git stuff, how do I define to get sources from a subdirectory of the git repository ? Apr 16 16:47:41 guyzmo: git makes that rather difficult, however we do support a "subpath" option that lets you do that Apr 16 16:48:14 guyzmo: because of how git works that still has to clone the entire repository though Apr 16 16:48:59 i.e. it'll let you copy just one subdirectory into your WORKDIR, however it won't save you any time at do_fetch Apr 16 16:50:56 ok **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 17 02:59:59 2012
