Re: [yocto] packaging documentation
Hey Steve, Ok - I will file this later today so you don't need to worry about it. I will use "Need better explanation of how recipes create packages" as the topic. I will add you to the CC list so you can track it. Thanks for helping with finding issues with the docs.

Re: [yocto] packaging documentation
Hi Scott: Yes, I’ve been searching in the mega manual, and I’ve read the section in the overview manual. The old OE Manual explanation was more what I was looking for. It seems that has been lost somewhere along the way. Filing a bug against the docs sounds like a good idea – I’m not sure how to do that.

There is a fairly large section here - https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6.1/overview-manual/overview-manual.html#openembedded-build-system-build-concepts that covers build concepts in some detail. This might help you. Another idea for finding topics in the YP manual set is to use the YP Mega-Manual (https://yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html), which is a compilation of the set of YP manuals. You can search the entire set for terms (e.g. "packag"). It occurs a lot in the set but it is a way to find all the occurrences. If you still cannot find satisfactory explanation on how packages are generated, we can file a bug against the docs and get a good explanation in there.

Re: [yocto] packaging documentation
Hi Steve, Have you found the YP Overview and Concepts Manual? There is a fairly large section here - https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6.1/overview-manual/overview-manual.html#openembedded-build-system-build-concepts that covers build concepts in some detail. This might help you. Another idea for finding topics in the YP manual set is to use the YP Mega-Manual ( https://yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html), which is a compilation of the set of YP manuals. You can search the entire set for terms (e.g. "packag"). It occurs a lot in the set but it is a way to find all the occurrences. If you still cannot find satisfactory explanation on how packages are generated, we can file a bug against the docs and get a good explanation in there.

[yocto] packaging documentation
Hi: I've been trying to get a better understanding of how packages are generated by recipes. I found a fairly good explanation in an old OpenEmbedded User's Manual (https://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/OE/OE-usermanual.html#recipes_packages). The manual is hard to find, and doesn't appear to be archive on the openembedded site (https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Documentation). Can somebody point me to an equivalent discussion in the current Yocto project documentation? Thanks. -steve -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
