Summary: [patch] save space in bootstrap image by allowing
exlusion of Source: field in ipk control files
Product: Openembedded
Version: unspecified
Platform: ARM
URL: http://www.themastermind1.net/oe/patches/ipk_nosource_in
_control.patch
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Build
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* add config variable IPK_EXCLUDE_SOURCE to toggle inclusion of Source: in
ipk control files
* Source: files currently add entire SRC_URI to the control file, which for
packages with many patches (such as kernels and their modules) add several
kilobytes to each module's control file and thus to the bootstrap image
This might be unsuitable for inclusion in OE, but if so, alternatives need to be
discussed and implemented. Some other proposed solutions from #oe
RP would like to see an updated ipkg which uses a better backend (sqlite) which
can detect duplicates on a field by field basis and optimize storage
pb_ proposes adding a flag that says "this package has the same source as <some
other package>", so that all the kernel-modules could refer to kernel-image
Eventually we'd probably like to move to some sort of source package system, but
i'm not sure what that would comprise of.
