Currently, the recipe which uses PACKAGES_DYNAMIC usually generates a lot of packages which costs a lot of time on building the recipe and do_rootfs, for example, the perl and kernel:
$ ls tmp/deploy/rpm/armv5te/perl-module-* | wc -l 621 $ ls tmp/deploy/rpm/qemux86/kernel-module-* | wc -l 268 Also, the eglibc-locale generates more than 300 packages. Take perl as an example: 1) We generate 621 perl-module-* packages, but the package *perl-modules* requires all of them, so once *perl-modules* is installed, all the other perl-module-* will be installed and we can't remove any of them since perl-modules rdepends on it, if there is a way to package all of these perl-module-* into one package (they are about 10MB), it would save a lot of time on do_package* and do_rootfs. 2) The nativesdk.bbclass can't support PACKAGES_DYNAMIC, for example, it can't change the perl-module-app-cpan to nativesdk-perl-module-app-cpan since there is no perl-module-app-cpan in PACKAGES when nativesdk.bbclass changes the variable's name. Can we add a way to let the PACKAGES_DYNAMIC be optional ? for example, PACKAGES_DYNAMIC[perl] = "0" will disable the perl's PACKAGES_DYNAMIC, and will pack the files as other recipes do, and of course we need to do some work on the recipe. -- Thanks Robert _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
