[yocto] non-existent task do_package_write_ipk

[Donal Morrissey]

Hi There,
I'm not able to inherit core-image into my recipe, when I do, I get the
following error:
ERROR: Task do_populate_sdk in .../poky/meta/recipes-core/images/
core-image-base.bb rdepends upon non-existent task do_package_write_ipk in
/home/donal/Projects/farkas/source/meta-my-platform/recipes-tools/system-scripts/
system-scripts.bb
ERROR: Command execution failed: 1

The reason I'm inheriting core-image, is so that I can append a command to
the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND variable.

The following are the contents of my bb file:

SUMMARY = "Set of common platform tools."
DESCRIPTION = "..."
AUTHOR = "..."
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

inherit core-image

my_post_process_cmd() {
touch ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/test
}
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += " my_post_process_cmd;"

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you,
Donal

A recipe that ship files and generates packages can't also inherit
core-image because it can't both be a package and an image. If you
want this package to run something when it is installed, write a
post-install function (pkg_postinst).

Hi Ross,
Thank you for your help. My build is using a layer which is generating a
file in a ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND command. I would like to modify this
file as part of the yocto build, but I'd prefer not to modify/fork this
layer as it is from a vender.

I'm creating my own layer, which will modify the file created in the vender
layer's ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND command. If I use pkg_postinst, then the
file will not have been created when pkg_postinst is called, because (as
far as i understand) the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND commands will only be
executed after all packages have been installed on the root filesystem
image.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Regards,
Donal

You'll have to set your own ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND in your image recipe.

Hi Ross,
I had to use IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND in my own image recipe, the execution
order of the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND commands didn't work for me.
Thanks for your help.
