Re: [yocto] adding package management
Thanks, Ross. That fixed that. Either I had finger trouble before when invoking rpm or I needed to remove the ? from the ?= in PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= package_rpm Am I right in thinking that yum isn't in the standard recipes?

Re: [yocto] adding package management
ok. Thanks. just spotted the split between rpm / rpm5 and yum. I suppose that the knock on is managing multiple repos for different update managers. don't suppose you know if there are material differences from a packaging/dependency point of view between rpm4 and rpm5? is there an eta for smart in the mainstream core?

Not sure, I prefer opkg for Yocto and am a Debian user for my desktop.s is there an eta for smart in the mainstream core? The patches are being finalised right now.

(note that Zypper is being replaced by Smart in oe-core master) See the following for more information on the change: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/29105 The one feature that Smart does not have that Zypper does (that I know people want) is delta-rpm support. Otherwise it seems to be better for our uses in Embedded Systems. --Mark Ross ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

I suppose that the knock on is managing multiple repos for different update managers. don't suppose you know if there are material differences from a packaging/dependency point of view between rpm4 and rpm5? Generated packages are more or less compatible. The only big difference is that all RPM5 packages are 'self-signed' to integrity purposes. Self-signing is better then simply md5sums. (They of course can also be signed with a specific key to indicate trust as well.) But the primary difference is in cross compiling and support for the activities that we need when cross-constructing root filesystems and such. There is also an aspect of 'control' behind this. We have input into the RPM5 development, in RPM4 we have absolutely no influence and they have removed everything that helped in a cross-compiled environment after the split. is there an eta for smart in the mainstream core? Hopefully the next version of the integration patches should be sent up today. We're really trying to get the code in by next week. --Mark On 12 Dec 2012, at 11:43, Burton, Ross ross.bur...@intel.com wrote: On 12 December 2012 11:31, Tim Coote tim+yoctoproject@coote.org wrote: Am I right in thinking that yum isn't in the standard recipes?
