Hej

I switched from RPM to DEB because the board configuration should be handled by a package manager. By doing so I ran into a QA problem. All the software provided by my colleagues I maked with

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

because they do not provide a license file. This works fine with the rpm generator, but when I use the debian generator - the QA from the "do_rootfs" fails with:

Is there a way to avoid that or do I have to provide for every recipe a license file?

I found a contribution about that: https://www.yoctoproject.org/blogs/khem/2014/suppliment-common-licenses-yocto-project

But ${LAYERDIR} seem not to be set. Maybe a small example can explain my problem in a good way. I have a layer with the following struct and modifications:

meta-myLayer
|- licenses
|    -> myLicense
|- recipes-my
|    -> myrecipe.bb

@meta-myLayer:
LICENSE_PATH += "${LAYERDIR}/licenses"

@myrecipe.bb
LICENSE = "myLicense"

Where is my error/what do I have to do for avoiding to add for every recipe a license file?

Regards!
