@ffesti Brought the discussion from #2580 to here. > This PR needs to be against master.

May be adding a > section to INSTALL is a good first step. We can move that to the docs/manual > later on if we feel it take up too much space there. I added the documentation text in INSTALL after the default make install line. > I am also wonder if we should allow passing the directory name. I don't know. At this point it's still RFC both for rpm and the Yocto community. But it allows me to run rpmbuild straight on the target system. > I might have missed something but it looks like there can only be a "custom" > platform. One is enough. There is only a single target platform you can build for at a time. See the complete patch at https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/184844 > So please re-open this against master.

[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpm/rpmbuild vs Yocto BSP platform names (Issue #2578)
Yocto is a cross-compiler system for building custom Linux based OSes. The platform names in Yocto are more specific than basic CPU architecture names. They are called Board Support Packages (BSPs) and the build is customized for such a specific SoC board, e.g. on ARM, MIPS or other exotic CPUs. Even when building for an Intel compatible device, the BSP name is e.g. genericx86 or genericx86_64, or when using the meta-intel layer, it can be e.g. intel-corei7-64, intel_skylake_64 and others, and these names end up in `/etc/rpm/platform`. The problem is that the corresponding subdirectory does not get created in `/usr/lib/rpm/platform` so `rpmbuild` fails to run on a Yocto based system with all the necessary SDK present to build an RPM package from sources. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/2578 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
