Hi folks.
I am working on upgrading a project from Kirkstone to Scarthgap, and
hit a problem I would like to have your input on, regarding the change
in Langdale to not include soft dependencies.
The background is that the project has 2 teams. An embedded group for
handling yocto etc. and an application team using a SDK created by the
embedded group to create applications.
As the applications has dependency on libs and utilites from the
yocto, and we need to give the application team a SDK so they can
incorperate the change in dependency before creating an image for the
target, we have used "dummy" packages.
This means that we has the DEPENDS located in a include file, and have
two recipes including those
* dummy-app.bb (used by the SDK, and is just an "empty" package with 1 txt file)
* the_real_app.bb (used by the image for target)
Until know the SDK has included all the packages mentioned in the
DEPENDS, but this is not the case anymore.
In process_depchains - we have the pkg_adddeprrecs method updating the
RRECOMMENDS with a filtered result from the DEPENDS.
And RRECOMMENDS ends in the recommends for the rpm file - not
installed in the SDK after we are not including the soft dependencies.
As I don't expect to be alone in needing to create a SDK for some
applications, where the applications and the DEPENDS changes so you
need to create the SDK with all the dependencies for this application
without the application itself part of the sdk.
What is the preferred way of doing it, now soft dependencies is removed?
A workaround might be to hack the RDEPENDS for the dev package in the
dummy-app.bb - something like
RDEPENDS:${PN}-dev += "boost-dev cli11-dev ......"
But I don't really like it - as the DEPENDS does not really fit 1 to 1
with this.
Any input on this.
How do you designs SDK's for applications, where the applications
itself is not part of the image. Do you manually add to the
TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK or similar?
Looking forward to your input
