Many of these items are resolved in the mhatle/rpm5 branch that is part of poky-contrib. I'm trying to get the work finished for inclusion in the next day or so. But for a minimal image, RPM likely is too big of a hammer for the filesystem design you want and IPK is likely more useful to you. The place where I see RPM being needed is in medium size to larger (CGL) style systems. Also places where a sat solver is necessary for field upgrades... even though thats not quite working yet. --Mark > I got much better results by switching to PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= > "package_ipk" in local.conf. > > This will not be an RPM based system, but the image size will be > significantly smaller (especially if you're trying to reduce minimal). > > Also, some fixes (post 0.9) should drop the rpm size requirement a bit, > if you want to try git/master. > > regards, > > ak. _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
