attr dependency on linux-yocto

attr dependency on linux-yocto

[Vladimir Molokov]

Hi,

Question about attr. I'm not familiar with it.

On a clean poky is it normal(not a bug?) to have deps such as

"attr.do_build" -> "linux-libc-headers.do_package_write_rpm"
"attr.do_build" -> "linux-yocto.do_deploy"
"attr.do_build" -> "linux-yocto.do_package_write_rpm"

How they are appear? I didn't find anything in attr which could be the cause.
It's just a clean poky from a repo, after . oe-init-build-env and
bitbake -g attr.
Appreciate any hints.

BR,
Vladimir.

Those are indirect dependencies; this means you can't install all of the
packages coming from the attr recipes without also installing packages from
linux-libc-headers and linux-yocto.

It's a long and convoluted dependency chain that only happens if you 
have ptest enabled.  I can't recall the exact details but at some point 
attr-ptest RDEPENDS on util-linux and util-linux-ptest recommends 
kernel-module-scsi-debug.

As bitbake wants to ensure dependencies are satisfiable, building attr 
will ensure a kernel is built.

whoa, thanks for the information
though I think it is not great,
when applications, like vim, get linux dependecies.

did anyone try to fix this?
could it be considered as a bug?
i can try to file the bug and fix it

It won't affect installation, it's just that bitbake wants to ensure all 
possible dependencies are built.
