From 56930227128d55dab22f79138152b29cf040ceff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jackie Huang Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 00:05:04 -0700 Subject: license.bbclass: allow copying license not in common licenses Some package like linux-firmware has many licenses that aren't in any way common, and new ones will be added from time to time, in order to avoid adding bunch of such common license files that are only applicable to a specific package, NO_GENERIC_LICENSE is added to allow copying license not in common licenses, it should be used in the recipe as: NO_GENERIC_LICENSE[] = "" e.g. NO_GENERIC_LICENSE[Firmware-Abilis] = "LICENCE.Abilis.txt" Signed-off-by: Jackie Huang --- meta/classes/license.bbclass | 17 ++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'meta/classes') diff --git a/meta/classes/license.bbclass b/meta/classes/license.bbclass index 73a0e9727e..d9409a90ba 100644 --- a/meta/classes/license.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/license.bbclass @@ -222,7 +222,9 @@ def find_license_files(d): pass spdx_generic = None license_source = None - # If the generic does not exist we need to check to see if there is an SPDX mapping to it + # If the generic does not exist we need to check to see if there is an SPDX mapping to it, + # unless NO_GENERIC_LICENSE is set. + for lic_dir in license_source_dirs: if not os.path.isfile(os.path.join(lic_dir, license_type)): if d.getVarFlag('SPDXLICENSEMAP', license_type) != None: @@ -241,6 +243,19 @@ def find_license_files(d): # audit up.
