If the former, I think perl-DBI and perl-DBD-SQLite is ok, because we only support SQLite in oe-core. If the latter, would you please give some suggestions about the scope? Thanks, Hongxu 35418 3 hongxu.jia 2013-08-06 10:47:35 +0000 The DBI is a database access module for the Perl programming language. It defines a set of methods, variables, and conventions that provide a consistent database interface, independent of the actual database being used. |<- Scope of DBI ->| .-. .--------------. .-------------. .-------. | |---| XYZ Driver |---| XYZ Engine | | Perl | | | `--------------' `-------------' | script| |A| |D| .--------------. .-------------. | using |--|P|--|B|---|Oracle Driver |---|Oracle Engine| | DBI | |I| |I| `--------------' `-------------' | API | | |... |methods| | |... Other drivers `-------' | |... `-' DBI requires one or more 'driver' modules to talk to databases. As only SQLite and mysql are supported in yocto, we choose to support DBD::SQLite and DBD::mysql modules in oe-core. The proposed list: - DBI, DBI-1.628, Database independent interface for Perl. - DBD::SQLite, DBD-SQLite-1.40, Yocto support SQLite in oe-core. - DBD::mysql, DBD-mysql-4.023, Yocto support mysql in meta-oe. 35584 4 randy.macleod 2013-08-12 14:02:35 +0000 Hongxu, Adding the DBI generic module and sqlite/mysql support seems fine to me. People will always want more perl (python/ruby/...) packages but for now these three packages will suffice. Thanks. // Randy 35718 5 hongxu.jia 2013-08-19 01:45:04 +0000 Create a layer meta-perl to collect additional perl recipes: Currently only perl-DBI and perl-DBD-SQLite are supported. * Git repository git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded * Subdirectory meta-perl * Dependencies openembedded-core 35772 6 randy.macleod 2013-08-20 15:37:39 +0000 Thanks Hongxu. That's a good start and we can point people to meta-perl if they want to add additional perl modules. 37745 7 ionutx.chisanovici 2013-10-08 14:21:48 +0000 Verified on: Build Configuration: BB_VERSION = "1.20.0" BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux" NATIVELSBSTRING = "Fedora-19" TARGET_SYS = "x86_64-poky-linux" MACHINE = "qemux86-64" DISTRO = "poky" DISTRO_VERSION = "1.5" TUNE_FEATURES = "m64" TARGET_FPU = "" meta meta-yocto meta-yocto-bsp = "master:5445f71fc812a5fcf9bd67a26a500284af16ad39" meta-perl = "master:2a463dddcf76d7fa437e96f6cf0210143e97a904"
