Hi All,
I was wondering if there is already a mechanism which kind of mimics the
inverse of BBFILES_DYNAMIC.
Like I want a recipe to be put into tree only if a layer is absent.
Example: I need a fancy python-lib, which isn't part of the core-lib, but
according to the layer index can be obtained by some 3rd party layer (let's
call fancy-layer).
For some projects I worked for, it might be challenging to use "fancy-layer" as
it doesn't comply with some corporate rules or whatsoever, while others don't
see any issues here.
What I have in mind is a mechanism like BBFILES_DYNAMIC, but inverse, like
BBFILES_DYNAMIC += "!fancy-layer:
${LAYERDIR}/dynamic-layers/fancy-fallback/*/*.bb"
So in case fancy-layer is absent, I could put in a recipe which isn't that well
maintained (also might including a warning that this only a fallback solution),
but does make my layer usable for a wider audience.
So back to the original question, is that already existing functionality? Or is
there a workaround hack existing?
If both not, is that something, that could be considered as valuable by the
project (If so I could craft some patches for that)?
Regards
Konrad
