This script takes a file containing all installed packages (installed_packages.txt) and computes the set of complementary packages to install (depending on what is contained in IMAGE_FEATURES). * Actually installed_packages.txt is a two columns file containing the package name and the architecture of the package, architecture of the package uses underscore as separator (ex : armv7a_vfp_neon). * oe-pkgdata-util uses the architecture of a each package (from installed_packages.txt) to rebuilt the full path to packages data in order to check if it actually provides dev-pkgs, static-dev ...etc. (ex: build/tmp-eglibc/pkgdata/armv7a_vfp_neon-oe-linux-gnueabi) * in the pkgdata directory packages are grouped by their architecture in separate directories, but the directories name use dash as separator (ex: build/tmp-eglibc/pkgdata/armv7a-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi) * due to the difference of the separator on the path reconstructed by oe-pkgdata-util and the path of pkgdata, oe-pkgdata-util will miss the installation of many packages. 29562 1 bluelightning 2013-02-06 09:42:32 +0000 When I build from master for beagleboard, I get architecture values in installed_pkgs.txt which use dashes and not underscores (e.g. armv7a-vfp-neon), so I can't verify the issue. Which version of the build system did you experience this issue with? 29569 2 abdellah.kouadri.ext 2013-02-06 10:11:16 +0000 I'm using version poky-danny-8.0 which i downloaded from https://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yocto-project-13-poky-80 29582 3 bluelightning 2013-02-06 14:09:03 +0000 OK, I've reproduced this with the danny-8.0 release and the danny branch, and have sent a fix: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2013-February/035554.html 29838 4 bluelightning 2013-02-14 20:38:54 +0000 Fix merged to the danny branch (and will be in the next danny point release): http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=danny&id=c0b37584819790a9c72b5dd5ad2533e499fa1d17 Note that this bug did not affect master since the code there works differently.
