Subject: migrating simple tarballs over to OE recipes?
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 05:42:42 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.20.1611230540200.7856@ca624034.mitel.com> (raw)


  colleague has a pile of tarballs that were used to customize an x86
centos system, wants to move all that to OE with as little fuss as
possible, i guess the simplest way is to just create recipes that have
the same tarball in the files/ directory, and write a trivial
do_install() task that untars it into the root fs, yes?

  hacky, but it should work. is there a cleaner solution that i'm just
stupidly overlooking?
