auto-inherit

Purpose

With the help of this class you can dynamically inherit other classes into any recipe based on conditions

Usage

You can either insert

INHERIT += "auto-inherit"

into your distro configuration or into conf/local.conf of your build directory

Configuration

Configuration is done by bitbake variable AUTO_INHERIT_CONF. It is a space separated list of items (see below). Best is to place this variable along the inherit. E.g.

INHERIT += "auto-inherit"
AUTO_INHERIT_CONF = "BBClass=foo;props[a,b,c]"

each value is formatted in the following way

BBClass=<class>;props=[func_foo(d),func_foo2(d,param)]

The identifier BBClass specifies what other bbclass to be included. The props identifier specifies a list of python-function, which all must return true for the class at BBClass to become included into the recipe currently parsed.

Available builtin function

auto_inherit_contains_package

Checks if the current recipe DEPENDS on another package. Parameters are

  • d [object] for the current data-storage of bitbake
  • pn [string] for the package-name to be checked for
  • skipNative [bool:True] for ignoring -native packages on lookup

auto_inherit_is_at_path

Checks if the current recipe is located at a certain path (or below) relative to project root Parameters are

  • d [object] for the current data-storage of bitbake
  • path [string] path to check for
  • skip_bbappend [bool:True] for ignoring bbappend-files on lookup

auto_inherit_license

Checks if a recipe is published under a particular license Parameters are

  • d [object] for the current data-storage of bitbake
  • license_regex [regex] regular expression describing the license to check for

auto_inherit_has_source

Checks if the recipe contains specific resources in it's SRC_URI entry

  • d [object] for the current data-storage of bitbake
  • source_regex [regex] regular expression describing the entries to check for

Examples

AUTO_INHERIT_CONF = "BBClass=foo;props=[auto_inherit_is_at_path(d,'meta-foo/recipes-foo/',False)]"

will inherit foo.bbclass into each recipe (and bbappend) placed under meta-foo/recipes-foo/

AUTO_INHERIT_CONF = "BBClass=bar;props=[auto_inherit_license(d,'GPL.*')]"

will inherit bar.bbclass into each recipe licensed under "GPL" (including all variants like GPLv2, GPLv3, a.s.o.)

AUTO_INHERIT_CONF = "BBClass=bar;props=[auto_inherit_contains_package(d,'python3')]"

will inherit bar.bbclass into each recipe which DEPENDS on python3
