perusing package groups, and a few simple questions and probably a
couple things i can submit patches for.
first, is IMAGE_FEATURES *exclusively* for selecting package groups
and not individual packages? since core-image.bbclass reads:
# By default we install packagegroup-core-boot and packagegroup-base packages -
for that comment to read "packages" is a little ambiguous, yes?
that same comment seems inaccurate as well, since it refers to
"packagegroup-base" when, below, it's actually:
CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
packagegroup-core-boot \
packagegroup-base-extended \ <-- see?
so that's just a quick doc fix.
again, back at the top, we read:
# IMAGE_FEATURES control content of the core reference images
but it's not just the *core* reference images, is it? in fact, the
list of available IMAGE_FEATURES in that file doesn't include
"splash", which is inherited from image.bbclass. should that not be
in the list? that also means that PACKAGE_GROUP_splash is available
to non-core images.
finally, meta/conf/local.conf.sample also allegedly lists the
possibilities for EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES, but that list is noticeably
incomplete. why not just refer the reader to core-image.bbclass,
rather than try to keep a current list in both places?
lots of pedantry ...
rday
p.s. as with other things i've put on my wish list, it would be great
if a variation of bitbake could list the available package groups.
