[yocto] [avahi] add service into rocko

[Jairo]

Hi all,

I need to install an avahi service on rocko for (a node of) node-red.

OK, I have an avahi_0.6.32.bb recipe at 'sources/poky/meta/recipes-
connectivity/avahi/' which path is added at bblayers.conf file.

but if I add the package at local.conf file like this:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " avahi"

when I try to make an image, bitbake can't find avahi

Collected errors:
* opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Couldn't find anything to satisfy
'avahi'.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jairo

The recipe name and the packages that you install are not (always)
the same thing.

i.e. in the recipe:

PACKAGES =+ "libavahi-gobject avahi-daemon libavahi-common libavahi-core
libavahi-client avahi-dnsconfd libavahi-glib avahi-autoipd avahi-utils"


So depending on the functionality that you want, you'd be installing
one or more of those packages to your image. (I'm betting you just
want avahi-daemon).

Wow thank you.
with:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "avahi-daemon"
it seems to work, it's a bit confusing but I think I got it, hehehe,
thanks Bruce and Dimitris
