**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 13 02:59:59 2016 Jan 13 08:40:19 good morning Jan 13 09:53:17 morning Jan 13 15:30:46 what's the best way to add a conditional dependency? i have a recipe which only depends on a certain package whenever another variable has a specific value Jan 13 15:31:51 inline python Jan 13 15:32:07 like if ${SOMETHING} == "value": RDEPENDS_${PN} += "hello" Jan 13 15:44:56 what's not valid python syntax in a single line, but that's the idea, yes Jan 13 15:45:16 RDEPENDS_${PN} = "${@'hello' if '${SOMETHING}' == 'value' else ''}" Jan 13 15:55:26 If there are patches in master that I would like in the jethro branch when should I send a back-ported patch and when should I just manage the back-ported patch myself Jan 13 17:43:55 doesn't bash syntax still work? at least something like this used to work... Jan 13 17:44:03 if [ -n "${BONE_IS_BLACK}" ]; then ... foo Jan 13 17:49:09 nerdboy: bash syntax doesn't work in an RDEPENDS :) Jan 13 17:51:20 but you could still set a variable outside RDEPENDS... Jan 13 17:52:11 or use the pkgconfig trick? Jan 13 17:53:40 shell can't set bitbake variables at all Jan 13 18:18:09 BONE_IS_BLACK gets set in local.conf **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 14 02:59:58 2016
