since it appears that i will be diving head-first into messing with ruby in some current YP builds, is there any interest in creating a meta-rubygems layer to start collecting recipes based on what ko

friend recently asked me for recommendations for entry-level, linux-based drones whose software is generated by yocto project, so it could be used as a learning experience. as in, the fun would be in

i'm not fluent enough in ruby to want to submit a patch for this, so i'll let someone higher up the food chain handle it. trying to build a number of "native" ruby recipes from meta-openstack, and get

to prepare for trying to build a number of ruby gems for WR LTS19 (effectively zeus, as always), i thought i'd start simple and begin with building for qemux86-64 with gatesgarth so i could plausibly

Strange request earlier this week -- I was asked how *one* Python recipe file could be used to generate both Python2 and Python3 packages to be installed in the final image. I had never heard of such

just got an interesting request from a colleague ... for reasons i will explain shortly, it's necessary to build both the normal and debug versions of a library, but for the debug version to be instal

i'm going to weigh in on this, as it *seems* that andrew has the same misunderstanding i had when, lo those many years ago, i read that section in the BB manual, and read this: OVERRIDES = "architectu

simply adding a recipe to your layer is not sufficient ... you need to specifically say you want a package added to your image with, perhaps, adding the line: IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " <package> <packa

pedantically speaking, since you're using "+=", you don't need those leading spaces. rday

related to something i asked a while back, i have a layer in front of me wherein dozens and dozens of .bbappend files exist for no other purpose than to contain the single line: BBCLASSEXTEND += "nati

Another question regarding recipe/coding style (based on actual examples I run across in existing code bases). In one vendor's layer, in file "lighttpd_1.4.%.bbappend", I read: RDEPENDS_${PN} += " \ l
