Mark and I were talking about this, and since this is something that is required in a multlib system, and an external module has gone to the trouble of inheriting module.bbclass, and we have the kernel-module-split.bbclass, that this is something we should be able to programatically do and generate the package names that meet the expectations of the system. I suggested a bugzilla and we can tackle this at the front end of the upcoming dev cycle. I think that's reasonable, if anyone knows of a reason why this absolutely can't be done automatically .. or I'm out to lunch, I'm happy to have my redirect, NAK'd :) Cheers, Bruce > > Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.ha...@windriver.com> > --- > meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb | 8 ++++++++ > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb > b/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb > index 64a6dda..621f700 100644 > --- a/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb > +++ b/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb > @@ -13,3 +13,11 @@ SRC_URI = "file://Makefile \ > " > > S = "${WORKDIR}" > + > +# Kernel module packages MUST begin with 'kernel-module-', otherwise > +# multilib image generation can fail. > +# > +# The following line is only necessary if the recipe name does not begin > +# with kernel-module-. > +# > +PKG_${PN} = "kernel-module-${PN}" > -- > 1.8.1.2.545.g2f19ada > > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-core mailing list > Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core -- "Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at its end" _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
