* bin_package.bbclass: binary package recipe classRobert Yang2012-09-101-0/+36
This is used for the binary package recipe, it's been suggested that it would be a useful feature to be able to easily take an RPM or similar containing a software binary from a 3rd party software vendor and integrate it into an image created by the build system. * Brief introduction - The binary pkg can be .rpm, .deb, .ipk and other formats which can be unpacked by bitbake fetcher. - Let bitbake unpack the bianry package, just like unpack the source package. - Skip the do_configure and do_compile. - Install the files to ${D} - Other steps are similar to the source package's recipe. * Note: - The "subdir" parameter in the SRC_URI is useful for the binary package recipe, so I added an example in the comment. - I have sent a patch to bitbake-devel mailing list to support unpack the .rpm, .ipk, and .deb files.
