We're using LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE to create ${PN}-lic package files and relying on the automatically generated recommends to cause them to be installed in the image. This works well for most packages, but fails for packages where we only install package created using PACKAGES_DYNAMIC.
For example, liborc is being installed in our image but that package lacks a recommends for orc-lic, so the licences that apply to it are not being installed. This is because license.bbclass:add_package_and_files iterates only over the packages listed in PACKAGES. Steps to reproduce on current master: $ echo 'LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1"' >> conf/local.conf $ bitbake orc $ dpkg-deb -I tmp-glibc/deploy/ipk/armv7vet2hf-neon/orc_0.4.32-r0_armv7vet2hf-neon.ipk|grep Recommends Recommends: orc-lic $ dpkg-deb -I tmp-glibc/deploy/ipk/armv7vet2hf-neon/liborc-0.4-0_0.4.32-r0_armv7vet2hf-neon.ipk|grep Recommends $ (I would have expected the last command to produce the same output as the penultimate one.) Even if I could fathom out how to fix orc and any other recipes so that they did add the ${PN}-lic dependency, I'd be worried about not noticing that the problem affected other recipes in the future. Is there a way to teach license.bbclass:add_package_and_files to add the ${PN}-lic recommends for dynamic packages, or would it be necessary to teach package.bbclass to do so? Thanks. Mike.
