Description Robert Yang 2015-10-28 03:16:17 UTC

Make it can install pacakage like:

smart install lib32-bash rather than smart install bash@lib32_x86.

This can make it handle multilib pkgs easier, and also can make package_manager.py easier, for example, remove _pkg_translate_smart_to_oe() can be removed.

Comment 1 Robert Yang 2016-08-01 08:18:01 UTC

smart maybe replaced by dnf in 2.3

Comment 2 Mark Hatle 2017-08-03 21:56:45 UTC

DNF has replaced smart.  A similar change might be nice for DNF.  I've adjusted the title to capture this.

Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2020-12-03 16:13:04 UTC

Kai, Has the work that you and WR devs been doing tested this or made it obsolete somehow? What's the plan?

Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2022-12-08 16:13:39 UTC

Not something we're going to do as Yocto project. If this is a problem for anyone , please send a patch.
