apart from fixing this, how could this recipe ever have built
before? i realize the current recipe for netdata is almost a year
old, but should it still not build?
Recipe specific sysroots. Zlib is so common that it was probably
already available in the shared sysroot to be compiled against, now
there is no access to the shared sysroot it can't be found and
fails. So this was always a dependency bug but one that was probably
never triggered.
a couple questions. a couple days ago, all i did was add the line:
DEPENDS = "zlib"
to the netdata_git.bb recipe file, and that trivially solved the
problem. i just updated my poky checkout, built again, and the build
failed since, as i notice from monday, a bunch of recipes (including
netdata) have been blacklisted because of (unsurprisingly) failure to
build:
$ git show b7f480c
so what should one do here?
for that recipe, i can submit a patch which adds the DEPENDS line
and removes the blacklisting. or is there a more wide-sweeping plan to
fix recipes that are now missing build-time dependencies based on
recipe-specific sysroots?
Submit the patch which fixes the recipe and removes the blacklist. As
for a wide sweeping plan, I imagine recipes will get blacklisted until
someone who is actively using them notices and submits the patch to fix.
There isn't the time available to fix all the recipes and then run-time
test them to make sure that the fix has actually worked.
also, if there's no objection, i can submit a patch that adds a
recipe for the far more recent netdata-1.5.0.
I'm sure this would be welcomed.
thoughts?
