I'd suggesting looking at packagedata which is how do_package and friends internally looks up things like which recipe provides which package and what the final package name is. An example of this in action is scripts/oe-pkgdata-util. There is also meta/lib/oe/packagedata.py. Sadly the API is horrible, it was never really designed for "public" use but I would love to see a better API around that (maybe one oe-pkgdata-util could use too). Cheers, Richard
