2015-09-22devtool / lib/oe/recipeutils: ensure we can parse without bbappendsPaul Eggleton
These functions ostensibly allowed parsing a recipe without bbappends but this clearly hadn't been tested because a variable was unassigned in both of them in that case. Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-09-22lib/oe/patch: fix for git am not cleaning up after itselfPaul Eggleton
Unfortunately it appears that under certain circumstances, a failed git am followed by git am --abort won't clean up any changes the patch might have made - this was seen when running "devtool extract" on the unzip recipe; unzip-6.0_overflow3.diff has a malformed date as far as git am is concerned but it triggers this condition. Add a git reset --hard HEAD followed by git clean -f in order to recover from this scenario.

2015-09-22lib/oe/recipeutils: properly split unexpanded variable valuesPaul Eggleton
Variables such as SRC_URI which are space-separated may also contain Python expressions (${@...}) which themselves contain spaces that shouldn't be split when splitting the value into items. In order to ensure this we need to use a custom splitting function instead of just string.split(). This issue could be seen when doing "devtool modify sudo", adding a commit to the resulting source repository then "devtool update-recipe" - the Python expression in SRC_URI was being unnecessarily broken onto multiple lines.

2015-09-16image.py: Ensure base image size is an integerPatrick Williams
There is a floating point multiplication done of a base image size and an "overhead factor", which is currently rounded up to the next integer. If the multiplication results in a whole number, the value will still be a float. When this float is used to generate a shell script, a buggy script is generated. Fix this by always forcing to an integer. Signed-off-by: Patrick Williams <patrick@stwcx.xyz> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-09-12image.py: Allow IMAGE_LINK_NAME to be emptyMike Looijmans
When IMAGE_LINK_NAME is empty, OE will try to create a "blank" link instead of just skipping it. The code checks for "link_name is not None" which will never evaluate to true. Change the test to a simple "if link_name:" so it no longer attempt to create links when the variable is an empty string.

2015-09-01package_manager: support for signed RPM package feedsMarkus Lehtonen
This change makes it possible to create GPG signed RPM package feeds - i.e. package feed with GPG signed metadata (repodata). All deployed RPM repositories will be signed and the GPG public key is copied to the rpm deployment directory. In order to enable the new feature one needs to define four variables in bitbake configuration. 1. 'PACKAGE_FEED_SIGN = "1"' enabling the feature 2. 'PACKAGE_FEED_GPG_NAME = "<key_id>"' defining the GPG key to use for signing 3. 'PACKAGE_FEED_GPG_PASSPHRASE_FILE = "<path_to_file>"' pointing to a file containing the passphrase for the secret signing key 4. 'PACKAGE_FEED_GPG_PUBKEY = "<path_to_pubkey>"' pointing to the corresponding public key (in "armor" format) The user may define "GPG_BIN" in the bitbake configuration in order to specify a specific the gpg binary/wrapper to use for signing.

2015-09-01package_rpm: support signing of rpm packagesMarkus Lehtonen
This patch adds a new bbclass for generating rpm packages that are signed with a user defined key. The packages are signed as part of the "package_write_rpm" task. In order to enable the feature you need to 1. 'INHERIT += " sign_rpm"' in bitbake config (e.g. local or distro) 2. Create a file that contains the passphrase to your gpg secret key 3. 'RPM_GPG_PASSPHRASE_FILE = "<path_to_file>" in bitbake config, pointing to the passphrase file created in 2. 4. Define GPG key name to use by either defining 'RPM_GPG_NAME = "<key_id>" in bitbake config OR by defining %_gpg_name <key_id> in your ~/.oerpmmacros file 5. 'RPM_GPG_PUBKEY = "<path_to_pubkey>" in bitbake config pointing to the public key (in "armor" format) The user may optionally define "GPG_BIN" variable in the bitbake configuration in order to specify a specific gpg binary/wrapper to use. The sign_rpm.bbclass implements a simple scenario of locally signing the packages. It could be replaced by a more advanced class that would utilize a separate signing server for signing the packages, for example.

2015-08-30lib/oe/patch: handle patches that delete files with older gitPaul Eggleton
When running "git add" on a directory with older git versions, deleted files aren't added to what is to be committed unless you explicitly specify the -A option. The result of this is that when applying a patch from a recipe which doesn't apply with "git am" (and we fall back to applying the patch through other means then "git add" following by a "git commit") these deletes weren't committed with the patch, leaving them sitting deleted but not committed at the end. This should fix test_devtool_modify_native (which unwittingly exercises this scenario by attempting to run "devtool modify" on apt-native) on machines with older git versions.
