was just presented with the following issue ... friend was asked to start creating RPMs to add to a system being created with wind river linux 7 (soon to be WRL8), but effectively, yocto project. last time i looked, YP uses rpm5 and i never thought too much about it.
said friend, however, has a home-grown build system that involves hand-rolled spec files and running "rpmbuild" manually on centos 7, which uses rpm4, which means (as i gather) that the generated rpms are simply incompatible with the target system. so, possible solutions? one is to recreate the target system entirely with a PREFERRED_VERSION for rpm of 4, but that seems like overkill. second is to somehow get rpmbuildv5 onto his centos 7 box, and alter his search path to pick up that version just for the sake of his build. last option (and my preference) is to ditch his whole hand-rolling and use YP (in this case, WRL) and define actual recipes for his software and build that way. thoughts? am i understanding the problem here correctly? is there a simpler solution i'm overlooking? thanks. rday -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
