Setting the following in local.conf does not include u-boot in /usr/share/common-licenses/license.manifest: COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1" COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
Isn't this expected since u-boot isn't actually contained in the image?
For Raspberry Pi SD card images, the image contains u-boot: https://github.com/djwillis/meta-raspberrypi/blob/master/classes/sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass
So Beth and I have discussed bootloaders not showing up in the manifest before, but perhaps what sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass does is a "new" wrinkle (although it might be generalised to any image where a certain IMAGE_FSTYPES type might cause the final image file to contain files produced by an additional recipe - syslinux within hddimg image files springs to mind). I do agree we need to address this; but I also think it needs to be done in a way that isn't simply adding all recipes in EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS to the end of the manifest; there needs to be some kind of marking that indicates what has actually happened.
Sent patch for review
Every BSP layer has its own methods to build the bootloader or other packages that are deployed in the image. For example, rpi uses IMAGE_DEPENDS, qemux86 uses the dependencies in bootimage class, fsl uses a custom class to add u-boot. So discussing this with Paul, he recommended to check for the dependencies in rootfs and bootimage and check what packages are deployed (using SSTATE_MANIFESTS) and include those in the manifest for the image file

This isn't solved because the manifest files in /usr/share/common-licenses on the rootfs still don't include u-boot.
(In reply to comment #9) > This isn't solved because the manifest files in /usr/share/common-licenses > on the rootfs still don't include u-boot. It was solved but is not working because of a change. You can check the new bug 10733, why is not working.
