yocto support for deb or ipk packages

[davidvescovi]

My yocto build using L4.14.98 GA release is using a local.conf with the line:

PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"

According to the yocto manual you can also add "package_deb package_ipk"

I need support for these package types also but when I add anything other than rpm I get this error:

Any idea what is going on?

Hi,

Have you solved the issue, I got the very same issue. there are some tasks that have deb package built before linux-imx task, so I don't think it's related with package management.

# RE-EDIT

As the hint from the error message that file name can't be '_' while in linux-imx there are some package data named with '_', use laurent vaudoit 's patch fixed it in bbappend or whatever:

LOCALVERSION = "-${@'${SRCBRANCH}'.replace('_', '-')}"

Sun1z:

   i have the same issue on this building . could you please tell me into which conf file the "LOCALVERSION = "-${@'${SRCBRANCH}'.replace('_', '-')}"" should be added ? thanks .

[anhui527]

it is adding into file of linux-imx_4.14.98.bb

Hello David,

Maybe these links will help you

Yocto with a package manager (ex: apt-get)
