Folks,
We have had an open enhancement in the form of bugzilla #4011
(https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4011).
I am currently working on this and want to get some feedback regarding
the design, the below list of config files would move to one recipe in
recipes-bsp, which will reduce the number of .bbappends that a BSP
writer might need to create in order to customize the configuration of
the BSP.
Overall, my proposal is to move all the BSP related config files into
one recipe directory tree. Create a recipe that can have a package or
packages that are RRECOMMENDS on.
We have 2 choices on the packaging side:
1) 1 Package to rule them all (conffiles)
- RPROVIDES PN-conf
- conffile.bbclass
RRECOMMENDS = "${PN}-conf"
# Can be overriden in recipe
CONFFILES_conffiles ?= "${PN}.conf"
- Will provide files not needed on final image, small
amount of extra space used.
2) 1 package / conf file (${PN}-conf)
- exactly what's needed will be installed
- no needs for additional RPROVIDES
- More packaging overhead, package data might be bigger than actual
contents!
Currently the list of recipes/config files affected include:
meta/recipes-bsp/pointercal/pointercal/*/pointercal
meta/recipes-bsp/formfactor/files/*/machconfig
meta/recipes-bsp/alsa-state/alsa-state/asound.conf
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/*/xorg.conf
meta/recipes-bsp/keymaps/files/keymap.sh
meta/recipes-graphics/xinput-calibrator/pointercal-xinput/pointercal.xinput
meta/recipes-graphics/tslib/tslib/ts.conf
Possibly also:
meta/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown-1.0
meta/recipes-connectivity/connman/connman-conf
meta/recipes-connectivity/bluez5/bluez5/bluetooth.conf
meta/recipes-bsp/apmd/apmd-3.2.2-14/apmd_proxy.conf
Comment, thoughts, ...
Thanks
