[ptxdist] Runtime dependencies generation

["Benoît BURNICHON" <Benoit.BURNICHON@airtag.com>]

Hi all,

I have a package which I know depends on some options

This package is not compiled and just need to be installed (it contains only scripts)
In the KConfig file, I set up lines like:

        depends on BUSYBOX
        depends on COREUTILS_OD       || BUSYBOX_HEXDUMP
        depends on COREUTILS_READLINK || BUSYBOX_READLINK
        depends on COREUTILS_SORT     || BUSYBOX_SORT
        depends on COREUTILS_STAT     || (BUSYBOX_STAT && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_STAT_FORMAT)
        depends on DIFFUTILS_DIFF     || BUSYBOX_DIFF

Everything is fine for package generation. But, when I asks ipkg to tell me on what depends my package with:

$ ipkg whatdepends mypackage

I end up with no dependencies

I know that there are no compilation dependencies, but how can I tell ptxdist that the depends line should contain a specific runtime package dependency. Also, when such a dependency is enforced, one could set up a specific rule for the version needed (in my case, I'd like to add 'busybox > 1.17.1-4')

I would like to be able to install the package on the target without manually verifying that all the required packages are on it. Instead, I want to perform an 'ipkg update', 'ipkg upgrade', then 'ipkg install mypackage'.

Has anyone already faced this need?

Ben
