do_populate_sdk-behavior-notes.md

• do_populate_sdk()
  • mappings of TOOLCHAIN_{HOST,TARGET}_TASK{,_ATTEMPTONLY}
  • oe.manifest.create_manifest() for HOST & TARGET
    • Writes out manifests listing what will be installed
      • Standard
      • Attempt only (we don’t care if they fail or aren’t available) Will need to investigate how to handle this. I expect I’ll need a new argument for opkg-p2 to try to find these things and just warn if it can’t, rather than being fatal.
      • Languages
      • Multilib
  • oe.sdk.populate_sdk() Exactly what happens here depends on the implementation being used (rpm/dpkg/opkg)
    • ${libdir_nativesdk}/libGL* is removed Not sure how to handle this exactly, unless we can force exclusion of the packages that provide it, or hook post-processing at install time.
    • ${libdir_nativesdk}/*.la is removed This can be removed in the packaging phase for each recipe — .la files are useless.
    • ld.so.cache is linked to the host Not sure how to handle this, other than trying to hook post-processing at install time.
    • SDK_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND() This won’t be doable, since it assumes that it runs at construction time in an OE environment, so we’ll just not support this for the ADE.
    • _populate() Side note: ALL_MULTILIB_PACKAGE_ARCHS may be of use in our implementation
      • Install target packages
      • Install target complementary packages
      • Install nativesdk packages
      • Remove packaging metadata
      • Move package manager metadata into sdk_native_path
      • Rpm: move sysconfig data into sdk_native_path
  • create_sdk_files()
    • adds relocate_sdk.py to ${SDKPATH}/ Can this be easily shifted into its own recipe/package? Determine if it's using variables which are only available with populate_sdk inherited. How can we get this run? Either we force the user to run a script after ADE installation manually, or we need a way to get it executed at install time.
    • adjusts DEFAULT_INSTALL_DIR in relocate_sdk.py
  • SDK_PACKAGING_FUNC() This is the bits for the shar construction and whatnot, not applicable to ADE.
