- <title>Handling a Package Name Alias</title>
- <para>
- Sometimes a package name you are using might exist under
- an alias or as a similarly named package in a different
- distribution.
- The OpenEmbedded build system implements a
- <filename>do_distro_check</filename>
- task that automatically connects to major distributions
- and checks for these situations.
- If the package exists under a different name in a different
- distribution, you get a <filename>distro_check</filename>
- mismatch.
- You can resolve this problem by defining a per-distro recipe
- name alias using the
- <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_PN_ALIAS'>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</ulink></filename>
- variable.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Following is an example that shows how you specify the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename>
- variable:
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>
- DISTRO_PN_ALIAS_pn-PACKAGENAME = "distro1=package_name_alias1 \
- distro2=package_name_alias2 \
- distro3=package_name_alias3 \
- ..."
- </literallayout>
- </para>
-
- <para>
- If you have more than one distribution alias, separate them with a space.
- Note that the build system currently automatically checks the
- Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu,
- and Mandriva distributions for source package recipes without having to specify them
- using the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename> variable.
- For example, the following command generates a report that lists the Linux distributions
- that include the sources for each of the recipes.
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>
- $ bitbake world -f -c distro_check
- </literallayout>
- The results are stored in the <filename>build/tmp/log/distro_check-${DATETIME}.results</filename>
- file found in the
- <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
