This is a little tricky - you need to actually delete the varflag not just
unset it. (You'll almost certainly need to do the same for do_unpack so that
the files end up in the workdir as well.) You can do this from an anonymous
python section within the recipe e.g.:
python __anonymous() {
d.delVarFlag('do_fetch', 'noexec')
d.delVarFlag('do_unpack', 'noexec')
}
(I'm not sure what you're doing this for, but in case it's not obvious, bear
mind this will only affect explicit calls to bitbake package-index and won't be
automatically incorporated into the indexes created when building images.)
Cheers,
Paul
