Recipe to Copy JAR files, not extract it

Recipe to Copy JAR files, not extract it

[Laurent d'Havé]

Hello
In a recipe i'm writing, i need to simply copy a .jar file.
Since it's specified in SRC_URI , bitbake extracts it, making WORKDIR a 
complete mess, and makes it impossible to copy the .jar file to destination.


How would i go about simply copying it ? Anyway to tell bitbake NOT to 
extract content of it ?

if you add ;unpack=0 to the end of the entry for the jar file within SRC_URI, 
it should prevent it from being unpacked.

(I see we don't have this documented anywhere, I will add it to the 
documentation todo list.)

Cheers,
Paul

Actually, I was mistaken - it is mentioned in the reference manual:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRC_URI

(FWIW, I'm happy to answer questions even if they are covered by
the manual, this is just an aside ;)

Cheers,
Paul

  it's mentioned in Section 4.2 of the bitbake user manual.

No problem; please feel free to ask any questions you have. I never tell 
people to RTFM, although I may point to sections of the manual if they exist 
to save me some typing :)

That worked great.

Except i'm now having a strange issue, been pulling hair's out for a 
couple of hours ...

WARNING: QA Issue: taxi: Files/directories were installed but not shipped
   /usr/share
   /usr/share/java
   /usr/share/java/headless.jar


And indeed, my jar file will not be bundled in the rootfs !!

Some copy-paste from my recipe :

SRC_URI = " \
file://headless .jar;unpack=0 \
"
do_install() {
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/usr/share/java
  install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/headless .jar ${D}/usr/share/java
  }


Any clues ? If i change the path  /usr/bin  it works.
Is it because i'm putting it in /usr/share/java ?
But that's where all the other JAR's go ...

The key is "installed but not shipped" - you've installed the files, but they 
aren't being shipped in any package. The files in each package are specified 
using FILES, and /usr/share is ${datadir}, so I'd suggest something like the 
following:

FILES_${PN} += "${datadir}/java"

(Moving the files to /usr/bin works because that is already in the default 
value of FILES_${PN}, whereas /usr/share/java isn't).

Cheers,
Paul
