| == Caveat ==
| | This is now covered in the [https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#using-runtime-package-management documentation]. |
| This article is based on work done a few years ago with fido (1.8) and only covers using smart with rpm. Needs some testing and extended to cover using dnf. | |
| | |
| Instructions assume you have had at least one successful build of your target image.
| |
| | |
| == Select Your Package Format ==
| |
| package format is set via variable PACKAGE_CLASSES, typically in local.conf. Look for line like
| |
| PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"
| |
| This means you're using rpm.
| |
| | |
| == Know Your Package Architectures ==
| |
| Your OS image will be comprised of a number of different package architectures.
| |
| === From the build system view ===
| |
| The package feed needs to know what they are so look in tmp/deploy/rpm
| |
| $ ls tmp/deploy/rpm/
| |
| all core2_32 edison x86_64_nativesdk
| |
| You can exclude anything starting with x86_64. This means the architectures on the target are: <tt>all core2_32 edison</tt>
| |
| === From target system view ===
| |
| $ rpm -qq
| |
| look at the endings of the various packages. For example , if you build for qemux86-64 the suffixes will be
| |
| core2_64
| |
| qemux86_64
| |
| all
| |
| so those are the architectures supported on the target.
| |
| | |
| == Select Your Package Feed URL ==
| |
| Is this example we'll use <tt>http://my-server.com/repo</tt>
| |
| | |
| == Add Package Manager to Build ==
| |
| Smart package manager is in oe-core, so there is no need to add any extra layers. You do, however need to tell the build system to include pkg management on the target, since excluding package management saves space, it is not enabled by default.
| |
| | |
| EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " package-management "
| |
| | |
| On releases prior to jethro, you *may* need to also do
| |
| IMAGE_INSTALL_append=" python-smartrpm "
| |
| | |
| == Configure Package Feed in Build ==
| |
| Now you have the information to create a package feed, ideally you add details in your distro conf file. If you are not using your own distro, you can set the following in local.conf. Note, if you only want to configure your channels on the target and not have any defaults, these definitions can be excluded.
| |
| PACKAGE_FEED_URIS = "http://my-server.com/repo"
| |
| PACKAGE_FEED_BASE_PATHS = "rpm"
| |
| PACKAGE_FEED_ARCHS = "all edison core2_32"
| |
| | |
| == Create Package Feed ==
| |
| * Re-build image so it includes smart and the package feed info
| |
| ** Also, if you find you need an additional recipe e.g. gawk, you can do bitbake gawk and it's packages will be available to.
| |
| *** this can be done iteratively
| |
| * Update repo package indices (this step can be excluded in later versions of Yocto)
| |
| bitbake package-index
| |
| * Copy packages to server. This sample script assumes files are served from /var/www/html/repo
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rsync -r -u --exclude 'x86_64*' tmp/deploy/rpm/* /var/www/html/repo
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| == Run Package Manager on Target ==
| |
| * Make sure network is up and sync with package feed.
| |
| smart update
| |
| * Install my-package
| |
| smart search my-package
| |
| smart install my-package
| |
| | |
| == Recover Package Feed Config On Target ==
| |
| Smart does not have a config file, so config must be done via command line. This script re-creates the config set by distro in example above
| |
| <pre>
| |
| feed_url="http://my-server.com/repo"
| |
| platform="my-platform"
| |
| repo_name="my-repo"
| |
| smart channel --remove-all
| |
| for arch in all edison core2_32; do
| |
| smart channel --add $platform-$arch type=rpm-md name="$repo_name" baseurl=$feed_url/$arch -y
| |
| done
| |
| </pre>
