14530 2021-08-30 12:29:57 +0000 Dev manual 3.3.17 erroneously claims that virtual providers do not apply to RPROVIDES 2021-08-31 17:41:12 +0000 1 1 9 Documentation Development Manual development unspecified x86 Multiple RESOLVED NOTABUG Undecided normal --- 1 rpjday michael.opdenacker --- --- Yes (doc changes required) oldest_to_newest 91303 0 rpjday 2021-08-30 12:29:57 +0000 Section 3.3.17 in dev manual -- https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#using-virtual-providers -- contains the note: "Virtual providers only apply to build time dependencies specified with PROVIDES and DEPENDS. They do not apply to runtime dependencies specified with RPROVIDES and RDEPENDS." This appears to be incorrect as at least two recipes appear to use that: > meta/recipes-core/systemd/systemd-bootconf_1.00.bb:RPROVIDES:${PN} += > "virtual/systemd-bootconf" > > meta/recipes-bsp/grub/grub-bootconf_1.00.bb:RPROVIDES:${PN} += > "virtual/grub-bootconf" 91305 1 michael.opdenacker 2021-08-30 15:40:42 +0000 A fix is proposed here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/1769 91316 2 michael.opdenacker 2021-08-31 17:41:12 +0000 Oops, I got Richard's explanations wrong. What's wrong are the lines in OE core recipes, not the documentation. Closing this bug, and will open a new one.
