meta-eid

meta-eid provides the minimal configurations, classes, and recipes for bitbake to build Debian packages or other extra sources.

This layer is just a working repository for finding better build infrastructure to build Debian packages with bitbake.

System Requirements

meta-eid is now developed and tested on the following environment.

• Build environment: Debian GNU/Linux 10 buster
• Poky version: Yocto Project 2.6 thud
• Architecture: amd64

How to use

meta-eid can be used in a docker container. This is the easiest way to ensure running in a validated environment. Please see Docker section.

Another option is to run meta-eid directly on a Linux machine. Debian 10 is recommended. It is called native method.

Docker

Ensure that docker is installed on your machine.

If http_proxy, etc. is set as environment on your terminal it is redirected into the docker container.

To build, start and change into the container:

$ git clone https://github.com/eid-project/meta-eid.git
$ cd meta-eid
$ make
(docker) $ source ./poky/meta-eid/setup.sh
(docker) $ sudo -E ../poky/meta-eid/scripts/setup-sbuild.sh

Now you can continue with Build examples.

Commit changes made inside the container

Remember, containers are stateless. If you leave the container all changes inside the container are lost. To avoid this, use the following command on a second terminal:

$ docker commit eid eid-image:mysnapshot

To start this snapshot:

$ IMAGENAME=eid-image:mysnapshot make

Native

Download build tools.

$ git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky.git
$ cd poky
$ git clone https://github.com/eid-project/meta-eid.git
$ cd ..
$ sudo ./poky/meta-eid/scripts/install-deps.sh

Register myself to sbuild user

$ sudo sbuild-adduser $(whoami)

Run setup scripts.

$ source ./poky/meta-eid/setup.sh
$ sudo -E ../poky/meta-eid/scripts/setup-sbuild.sh

Now you can continue with Build examples.

Build examples

Build Debian source package.

$ bitbake hello

Build non-Debianized source. This is the simplest recipe to build non-Debianized source.

$ bitbake localfiles

Build non-Debianized source. This recipe fetches source code from remote, and has build & run-time dependencies on Debian packages and non-Debian package baz.

$ bitbake foo
