Hi all,
I have a recipe for a package which builds well. I now need to add a patch into
certain builds. What is the best way to do this?
1.Is there a variable I can append the image name to (similar
to:/SRC_URI_image-name/)?//
2.Is there a way of creating a new ‘recipe 2’ that obtains the details from
‘recipe 1’ and applies a patch? This way I can then simply add the new recipe
into any builds I want and
includes any future changes I make to ‘recipe 1’. This solution also means not
having to continuously reconfigure/recompile the original recipe!
3.Do I have to do it the hard way and copy the whole .bb file into a new one
and make sure everything is in sync when future updates are applied?
If it's just a patch, the simplest way is to use something like this:
SRC_URI_append_XYZ = "file://XYZ.patch"
where XYZ is something which can identify the override. One example
might be where XYZ is the name of a target board (${MACHINE})
There are many examples of this usage in the Poky/Yocto tree(s)
