Description Beth Flanagan 2011-11-21 09:40:58 UTC 
3 Stages: Stage1: [P1][D4] Stage2: [P2][D10] Stage3: [P3][D5]

Stage One - Fix current defects:

    * Fix where the license collection occurs. This needs to occur during the creation of the rootfs.
    * Ensure that we can use this during a parallel bitbake
    * Incorporate a flag to allow the image to contain collected licenses.
    * Ensure that we've gotten rid of all license WARNINGS. (Add license text, correct recipes).
    * Create a way to add additional licenses.

Quick update:

    * Fix where the license collection occurs. This needs to occur during the
creation of the rootfs.

I have this working with rootfs_rpm. Porting to ipk and deb tonight.

    * Ensure that we can use this during a parallel bitbake

Fixed, using minimal and sato as my test run:

more tmp/deploy/licenses/core-image-sato-qemux86-20111124004238/license.manifest |grep base-passwd
PACKAGE_NAME: base-passwd

more tmp/deploy/licenses/core-image-minimal-qemux86-20111124004238/license.manifest |grep base-passwd
PACKAGE_NAME: base-passwd

So, I now know that license manifests contain the correct packages.

    * Incorporate a flag to allow the image to contain collected licenses.

In the works.

    * Ensure that we've gotten rid of all license WARNINGS. (Add license text,
correct recipes).

I have 18 identified in a core-image-sato. Working on a world build next to identify all warnings.

    * Create a way to add additional licenses.

Still thinking about this.

Final commit pending (bunch of rebasing I need to do to clean up commit history). As it stands, we're fully functional with the exception of deb images. Those will work when list_packages is functional for deb

Beth: A quick note on process - things get marked as fixed when they make it into the main repository, not when posted for review.
Comment 10 Beth Flanagan 2011-12-13 08:17:19 UTC 
Made it into master. Did not make the M1 cutoff.
