How to Install Third party rpm packages

Hello All,

I 'm new to YOCTO. I am using YOCTO version 2.5.
I would like to install third party rpm package to my image. Currently I'm
installing rpm package on my target machine using rpm command
  rpm -ivh --prefix=/opt/ example.rpm

Is there any way that I can do this in a recipe, so that my final image has
the rpm installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Chaithu

Hi,

Take a look at the section 3.2 “Customizing Images” in the Development Tasks Manual. You can find it and the other manuals here:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/

If you are building the package in Yocto as well the simplest is to add it to the image with IMAGE_INSTALL, but the manual also discusses other methods such as runtime package management.

Select Yocto Project 2.5.x from the drop down at the top of the page to get the manuals for that version.

Regards

Steve

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for pointing the documentation.
In custom image recipe I will add IMAGE_INSTALL += "custom-package.rpm" but
how do I add this "custom-package.rpm" to my YOCTO build system.
Do I need to write a recipe where I fetch this package?

I apologize for the dumb questions.

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Yes, write a recipe that has SRC_URI as the original RPM, then you can
write a do_install() to put the files in the right place, package it
correctly, and so on.

Just using the RPM as-is most likely won't work because the chances
are your Yocto distribution isn't binary-compatible at the packaging
level with whatever distribution the RPM was built for.

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification.
In do_install(), I used rpm2cpio.sh to extract the rpm and then copied the
rpm contents in the right place.
        $rpm2cpio.sh *.rpm | cpio -idmv
I hope this is the right way to handle RPM packages.

RPM has a post-installation script that I need to handle. This script
executes after the installation of RPM. Could I know what is the efficient
way to run the script?

Thank you,
Chaitanya

Put the RPM in SRC_URI and bitbake will unpack it for you.

Easiest way is to just copy what it does into the recipe.  Assuming
that a postinst script for Fedora will work on your Yocto distribution
is a risky move, just like you wouldn't expect the script to run
without errors on Debian.

         install -m 0755 ${S}/startup-script ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/
ln -sf ../init.d/startup-script ${D}${sysconfdir}/rcS.d/S90startup-script

You'll need to do the install yourself, but the symlink generation
should be done with the update-rcd class.
