[ptxdist] License info for no-source packages

[ptxdist] License info for no-source packages

[Alm, Michael]

Hi,

I have some ptxdist packages that do not use any source code. , For example they just make some configuration to the rootfs, like creating symlinks. So there is no real need to provide license information. But this way I get ugly warnings in the License Report (ptxdist 2015.05.0), because of unknown licenses. 

What is best-practice for the LICENSE info in the rule file in that case?
Would it be possible to exclude these packages from the license report?

Thx
Michael

Did you try setting those packages to ignore? Some ptxdist packages
like machine-id, os-release, rc-once or rootfs do this, for example
like this in rules/rootfs.make:

  ROOTFS_LICENSE  := ignore
