The special key kernel-module- is necessary for the system to avoid a package
rename when installing a multilib image. For example:
local.conf: IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " hello-mod"
bitbake lib32-core-image-minimal
The system will translate names and prepend 'lib32-', unless the package
begins with kernel-module-.
Mark and I were talking about this, and since this is something that is required
in a multlib system, and an external module has gone to the trouble of
inheriting
module.bbclass, and we have the kernel-module-split.bbclass, that this
is something
we should be able to programatically do and generate the package names that
meet the expectations of the system.
I suggested a bugzilla and we can tackle this at the front end of the upcoming
dev cycle.
YP bugzilla # 4286
I think that's reasonable, if anyone knows of a reason why this absolutely can't
be done automatically .. or I'm out to lunch, I'm happy to have my
redirect, NAK'd :)
Cheers,
Bruce
