From: Luca Boccassi <luca.bocca...@microsoft.com> The pkg_resources Python module is useful by itself, for example for automatic loading of resources shipped in a Python package. Add separate packages for it, so that users can depend on them individually and avoid pulling in the entire setuptools, which include scripts to download other packages, which might not be desired on minimal images.
Other distributions like Debian and Ubuntu already split setuptools and pkg-resources in this way. The setuptools packages now depend on the new pkg-resources packages, to avoid regressions for other packages that depend on them already. Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi <luca.bocca...@microsoft.com> --- v2: restrict new RDEPENDS to class-target. As advised by Alexander, bitbake cannot resolve native rdeps that mention package names rather than recipe names. v3: manually add RPROVIDES to the native class instead of restricting the RDEPENDS to the target class as a better workaround. Also document why the package is being split. meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-setuptools.inc | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-setuptools.inc b/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-setuptools.inc index 357aa07086..f49e078697 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-setuptools.inc +++ b/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-setuptools.inc @@ -37,3 +37,14 @@ do_install_prepend() { } BBCLASSEXTEND = "native nativesdk" + +# The pkg-resources module can be used by itself, without the package downloader +# and easy_install.
