As a result, if this variable is first enabled when building an image, and is then disabled when rebuilding the image, the license packages (e.g. busybox-lic) are still installed into that image. This is obviously not desired. To reproduce, use the following steps: 1. set in local.conf: LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1" COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1" COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1" 2. bitbake busybox 3. set in local.conf: # LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1" # COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1" # COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1" 4. bitbake busybox Use the following command to verify that the license package is still required by the main busybox pacakge. rpm -qp --requires <path/to/busybox/rpm/package> | grep '\-lic' cause ----- The license copying process should be in do_install task instead of the do_package task. This is because that copying of license has effect on ${D} instead of ${PKGD}. //Chen Qi 46910 1 Qi.Chen 2014-11-11 02:03:53 +0000 Nobody cares about this one.
