Hello,

 

 

I would like to guide/help me with the building of custom images using recipes-local.

 

When you want to put something extra into the image (my-image.bb) you simply appending this to IMAGE_INSTALL.

 

 

IMAGE_INSTALL += "enigma2-plugin-my-custom-plugin"

 

Above is clear and wors like a charm.

 

 

When you want to remove something from the image (eg ppanels) how can you do that?

 

 

IMAGE_INSTALL -= "enigma2-plugin-extensions-ppanel"

 

Above probably is not valid, so the simpler way is to copy openpli-enigma2-image.bb, make changes and save it as my-image.bb?

 

 

When you want to add a modified version of pliHD skin you need to use my-pliHD and use RPROVIDES,RREPLACES? Or just adding modified pliHD into local-recipes will use the modified version over the original one?

 

Sorry for making all those questions, but i don't want to reinvent the wheel and done things by the hard way.

 

Thanks,

Not at all, I am very interested in the answer as well  :). I think you have very good points.

You can create a .bbappend for any script you like, and then overwrite things.

An example of how to "delete" things is in ntfs-3g-ntfsprogs_2013.1.13.bbappend:

RDEPENDS_ntfs-3g := "${@bb.data.getVar('RDEPENDS_ntfs-3g',d,1).replace('util-linux-mount', '')}"

(The ":=" is important, it forces bitbake to evaluate it "now" instead of later, when used, like make does)

Million thanks MiLo,

This is what i did on my-image.bb

IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('openpli-bootlogo', '')}"
IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd', '')}"
IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('enigma2-plugin-extensions-ppanel', ' ')}"


But when i was trying to build vusolo2 i was getting "vuplus-initrd-vusolo2vuplus-initrd-vusolo2vuplus-initrd-vusolo2" missing RDEPENDS.

So i change it like this and build workd on vusolo2 too.

IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('openpli-bootlogo', '').replace('enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd', '').replace('enigma2-plugin-extensions-ppanel','')}"



Now i am trying to change also the spinner but i think the code do_openpli_branding needs change in order to support changing spinner too.

if [ -n "${BRANDINGDIR}" -a -d "${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2" ] ; then
- cp -p ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/.
+ cp -rp ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/ 
fi


Using "cp -p ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/." you cannot copy subfolders.

cp: omitting directory `/.../enigma2/skin_default'


PS. In order to use BRANDINGDIR you must run bitbake like this MACHINE=XXX BRANDINGDIR=YYY bitbake my-image correct?

Here is the exact message appears when trying to build vusolo2:

 

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'vuplus-initrd-vusolo2vuplus-initrd-vusolo2vuplus-initrd-vusolo2' (but /opt/openpli/openpli4/meta-local/recipes-local/images/my-image.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

 

Something is wrong on vuplus-initrd-vuduo2.bb (or vuplus-initrd.inc)?

Interesting, I don't see this.


Since when is this?

When using my-image.bb where the following exists:

 

 

IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('openpli-bootlogo', '')}"
IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd', '')}"
IMAGE_INSTALL := "${@bb.data.getVar('IMAGE_INSTALL',d,1).replace('enigma2-plugin-extensions-ppanel', ' ')}"

 

This happens only on solo2 (and i think on duo2).

I will try without ":="

 

What about the spinner?

 

Now i am trying to change also the spinner but i think the code do_openpli_branding needs change in order to support changing spinner too.

if [ -n "${BRANDINGDIR}" -a -d "${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2" ] ; then
- cp -p ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/.
+ cp -rp ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/ 
fi

Using "cp -p ${BRANDINGDIR}/enigma2/* ${S}/data/." you cannot copy subfolders.

cp: omitting directory `/.../enigma2/skin_default'

PS. In order to use BRANDINGDIR you must run bitbake like this MACHINE=XXX BRANDINGDIR=YYY bitbake my-image correct?

 

Thanks again.

Recursive add contents of BRANDINGDIR to enigma2 data directory.

Using this patch you can customize also files under subfolders, eg the spinner.

 

Patch is for upstream.

Hello,

 

Maybe a silly question, is it possible to add 3rd-party plugin on image when you are building it?

 

There is no bitbake to add in IMAGE_INSTALL, so what is the best way to do that, create custom bitbake in meta-local?

 

Thanks once again.
