IMX6 uboot package error

[jasonl]

I am trying to compile the Colibri IMX6 Yocto Linux project from morty branch upstream but having trouble with the u-boot-toradex 2016.11. I am trying to build the rpm package. The error message is:

ERROR: u-boot-toradex-2016.11-2.7.3-gitrf0e4149 do_package_write_rpm: Function failed: BUILDSPEC (log file is located at /home/yangjiel/morty-test/build/tmp/work/colibri_imx6-poky-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-toradex/2016.11-2.7.3-gitrf0e4149/temp/log.do_package_write_rpm.21361)

It is fine while building as ipk package. I want to know is it possible to build with rpm package?

Thank you,

Jason

The problem is the dash character in PR is not legal for rpm. Modify the PR in u-boot-toradex_2016.11.bbappend can address the problem. Also, the solution could be variance, what I did is to disable the original bbappend using BBMASK and add my own on my layer.
