Dear openembedded-core members,
How can I avoid bringing Python into my image via libpwquality? I need
to keep my image size small. My bbappend uses EXTRA_OECONF +=
"--enable-python-bindings=no" to take advantage of the source project's
configuration option [1], but because libpwquality_1.4.4.bb [2] imports
distutil3-base, my image gets Python. I built a working proof of
concept that libpwquality does not need Python here: [3].
I tried enhancing libpwquality_1.4.4.bb with PACKAGECONFIG
"python-bindings" (so my bbappend can use
PACKAGECONFIG_remove="python-bindings") but can't find a way to get the
final value of PACKAGECONFIG to conditionally `inherit
distutils3-base`. So I am asking for help.
How can I avoid bringing in Python via libpwquality?
I am also curious if anyone else is interested in changing the default
install location for libpwquality.so to /lib/security/ (where Yocto/Poky
defaults to /usr/lib/security).
