PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_rpm" IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "dnf openssh" MACHINE = "qemux86-64" EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks package-management" Step 2: runqemu with the resulting image, make sure the tap device shows an ip. ssh from your laptop to the target. Step 3: Setup your server so that it can service the packages to the target. $ cd (TMPDIR)/deploy/rpm python -m SimpleHTTPServer Step 4: Configure the repositories on the target system by: [For Rocko release] On target system, edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf: [main] gpgcheck=0 [repository] name=myrepo baseurl=http://192.168.7.1:8000 enabled=1 installonly_limit=3 clean_requirements_on_remove=True Step 5: fetch the repository on target: $ dnf makecache Please find result of step 5 : root@qemux86-64:~# dnf makecache Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'repository', disabling. Metadata cache created. root@qemux86-64:~# Regression : Issue is reproducible with 2.4.3RC2 82295 1 ross.burton 2018-11-22 13:22:30 +0000 Did you run bitbake package-index? 82302 2 pankaj-y 2018-11-23 01:40:48 +0000 I have run bitbake package-index in step 8 as mentioned below : Step 6: bitbake minicom on host. Step 7: bitbake core-image-minimal Step 8: bitbake package-index Step 9: Restart the SimpleHTTPServer Step 10: fetch the repository and generate the update on target system. $ dnf makecache $ dnf update $ dnf install minicom 82304 3 richard.purdie 2018-11-23 11:42:37 +0000 You need to run "bitbake package-index" before running the makecache command on target so this error isn't surprising. Also, isn't this test automated? I'm not sure why we'd need to manually test this? 82306 4 ross.burton 2018-11-23 12:04:51 +0000 This should be automated with the selftest runtime_test.test_testimage_dnf. Latest master run: 2018-11-22 00:24:35,992 - oe-selftest - INFO - RESULTS - runtime_test.TestImage.test_testimage_dnf - Testcase 1883: PASSED (539.97s) 82349 5 pankaj-y 2018-11-29 04:05:45 +0000 Running "bitbake package-index" before running the "dnf makecache" command on target, resolves this error. Hence closing this ticket.
