Recipes usually name the standard packages based on PN. However, the kernel
uses ${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME} as the base name for its packages. This causes
inconsistent -src package naming and prevents complementary package
installation from finding the expected kernel packages. For example, a kernel
can produce kernel-dbg and linux-yocto-src, causing rootfs-dbg to include the
linux-yocto-src package but not kernel-dbg.
Introduce PACKAGE_BASENAME so recipes whose package names are based on
something other than PN can generate consistent -src package names and expose
the base name in pkgdata. Update oe-pkgdata-util to use PACKAGE_BASENAME when
resolving complementary package globs, with a fallback to PN for existing
pkgdata.
This is one possible way to handle the kernel-specific package naming. Other
approaches may be possible too. Some ideas:
- Do we really need this KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME special feature for kernel
packages? Or would it be possible to stick to ${PN} as any other recipe
does?
- Is installing the kernel's complementary packages via standard
complementary package installation the right mechanism for kernel
packages? Or should there be a different mechanism which is more in line
with how the kernel usually gets installed where installing it into the
rootfs as a package is only one way out of many.
