ERROR: avahi not found in the base feeds (qemux86_64 core2-64 x86_64 noarch any all). ... Here is the analysis: 1. postinst-intercept is only used for nativesdk, so the postinst-interceptshould be invalid at the recipe parasing time. We could rename the recipe to nativesdk-postinst-intercept 2. pointercal-xinput is conditionally install file if it has a contents, so it should allow the package empty. 3. use oprofileui-viewer as oprofileui's provider 4. use avahi-daemon as avahi's provider 49789 1 richard.purdie 2015-03-26 09:44:41 +0000 Firstly, its not a reasonable expectation that every recipe name can be added to IMAGE_INSTALL and have things "work". This simply isn't the way the system has been designed. If that is an issue I'd like to understand where the requirement has come from. The postinst issue was dealt with in http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=0f5d0e98f6b77a768ee6b77646d0351401d49f0d The pointercal issue is deliberate as pointed out on the mailing list: http://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/?id=9477e53e8a8ffde17b558ac436550687db4b86a0 and is meant to be installed as a RRECOMMEND. There is little point in generating a package just for the sake of it. For avahi and oprofileui, the main packages are simply empty. I'm wondering if we should put a PACKAGES_remove = "${PN}" into those recipes so that those packages aren't generated? 49790 2 richard.purdie 2015-03-26 09:59:40 +0000 Moving to M1, we have a simple plan here for two simple patches and can then get this closed. 64630 3 hongxu.jia 2016-07-29 02:19:04 +0000 It is not a bug, you can't install recipe to image, but only package should be installed.
