Is it possible to create source RPMs from Yocto? If so, is there any
documentation or guidance on how to do this? I’ve found a bug that was closed
mentioning:

INHERIT += "archive-patched-source"

SOURCE_ARCHIVE_PACKAGE_TYPE = "SRPM"

However, this results in an error referencing get_package. When I add: “inherit
archiver”, this changes to an error referencing undefined variable ‘f’.

At one point we had the system so it would generate an SRPM. But you have to remember the SRPM is just a container, this isn't going to build something you can bring to your favorite RPM based distribution and build.

The code would take the configure/compile/install steps and dump them into the spec, along with references to the source and patches. This way everything was in one convenient place, but again -- it's not going to work standalone.

To build software for the YP, you really need to use the build environment -- or an SDK.
