i'm pretty sure i know how to do this, just want to know if there's an even easier/more elegant way.
in current project, there is a *pile* of local content that is identified by various recipes. so since that content is local, the obvious starting point is for such recipes to "inherit externalsrc" to properly identify the local source directory. in addition, many of those recipes represent packaging binary data (imagine firmware files), so that there is really no meaningful configure or compile tasks, so that further suggests inheriting "bin_package" as well. finally, in some cases, there is a teeny bit of tweaking that might be needed for the final installed content, which suggests adding: do_install:append() to the mix to handle whatever little adjustments are needed. so given that scenario, can i reasonably summarize the right approach as: inherit externalsrc inherit bin_package do_install:append() [as needed] finally, it doesn't seem like many of those recipes are required as build-time dependencies, so i can just make them either RDEPENDS as appropriate, or just IMAGE_INSTALL them for the final image. sound reasonable? am i overthinking this? seems fairly straightforward. rday
