Hi,
I'm working on getting rdiff-backup running from an OE build and have
two python related issues that I thought I'd ask about.
First is that rdiff-backup requires UserList from the python
distribution but UserList is not in any of the python packages. For
now I've patched the manifest to add a separate package for it (see
patches below). That gets it to the point where I can run
rdiff-backup, but the manifest file says it is auto-generated and I'm
not convinced it deserves it's own package. Perhaps it'd be best to
raise a bug requesting that UserList is added to the installable
packages for python?
The second issues is that when using the standard do_compile from
distutils class the application ends up like this on the target:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# head -1 /usr/bin/rdiff-backup
#!/data/oe/build/titan-glibc/tmp/staging/x86_64-linux/bin/python
which isn't very useful since that's not where python gets installed
on the target. For now I've done this:
+do_compile() {
+ BUILD_SYS=${BUILD_SYS} HOST_SYS=${HOST_SYS} \
+ ${STAGING_BINDIR}/python setup.py build --executable=/usr/bin/python || \
+ oefatal "python setup.py build execution failed."
+}
which fixes it, but doesn't really seem to be the correct thing to
do. Has anyone seen this before and/or have a better option for this?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are my current patches that get rdiff-backup building and
working correctly with glibc for my sh4 based board:
1) Python patch to add a package for userlist:
