Ok, so now I am at it again :) The package.bbclass is missing support for stripping .beam files. Nothing strange about that. But, now I wish to extend this class with support for erlang .beam files. Initially I do not wish to add this functionality directly into package.bbclass since it will require an erlang execution environment + an erlang escript to run. I do not know if we want that ;) Is it possible to extend the split_and_strip_files() function in some other way using eg the _append postfix? Since this function is a real a beast (with good reason), copying it and making it a strict beam detector (instead of elf) might not be the most attractive solution though :( I assume I need to sneak in the beam stripping in the middle of the processing somewhere since once split_and_strip_files() is completed, actual packaging will commence, and after that it will be too late.
Any ideas? Might patching package.bbclass be an alternative? In that case, how to avoid dragging in an erlang-native dependency into package.bbclass if it is not needed? (also considering erlang is not yet officially supported by Yocto/OE-core). Thanks.
