All, This e-mail is to describe the purpose of the patch that will follow which adds a sourceipk.bbclass file to the classes directory. The purpose of the sourceipk class is to allow recipe authors and openembedded users to create a simple ipk package that contains the patched sources and recipe used to create the binary ipks. This source ipk does NOT build the binary ipks itself, that is still done using bitbake and openembedded.
The purpose is to allow the sources to be placed in a feed along with the binaries and installed on either the target system for native building or the host system for reference on manual cross compilation if desired. This can also be used by installers that will install/create custom images and their corresponding sources based on user selection. Please consider the patch that follows for inclusion. I would also like to take this time to thank Koen and Denys for their input and feedback on this code. Sincerely, Chase Maupin _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
