Worked for all of my tests. I added all layers in meta-openembedded and then white-listed just gmock in meta-oe (aka openembedded-layer): INHERIT += "whitelist" PNWHITELIST_efl-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_filesystems-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_gnome-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_gpe-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_meta-initramfs = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_meta-python = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_multimedia-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_networking-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_openembedded-layer = "gmock" PNWHITELIST_perl-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_ruby-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_systemd-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_toolchain-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_webserver = "no-recipe-enabled" PNWHITELIST_xfce-layer = "no-recipe-enabled" I got warnings for several of the layers, but strangely not for all of them: WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_efl-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-efl/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_filesystems-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-filesystems/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_gpe-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-gpe/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_meta-initramfs '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-initramfs/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_multimedia-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_networking-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-networking/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_perl-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-perl/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_meta-python '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-python/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_ruby-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-ruby/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_webserver '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver/' WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_xfce-layer '^/work/meta-openembedded/meta-xfce/' Note that gnome-layer is not warned about, although none of its recipes are enabled (checked with "bitbake-layers show-recipes -f | grep -v '(skipped)' | grep meta-gnome"). Any idea why? One more comment: it would be slightly nicer if empty whitelist could be distinguished from no whitelist, with "empty" meaning "enable no recipes". In other words, replace "if whitelist" with "if whitelist is not None". I want to list all PNWHITELIST_xxx values for meta-openembedded, even when the layer is not (yet) in bblayers.sample.conf, in order to be prepared for adding it later. Doing that with an empty string is more readable than with a fake recipe name to make the variable non-empty. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
