[ptxdist] local rule makefile include $(PTXDIST_TOPDIR)/rules/...

[Jon Ringle]

Hi,

As a follow up to my patch "Detect changes in package patch series",
I'd like to be able to further this by having the ability to maintain
my own patch series for a package without having to be forced to also
maintain the package's rules makefile as well. To try to achieve this
I tried having the following content in my local rule makefile:

~/git/rootfs$ cat rules/systemd.make
SYSTEMD_SERIES_SHA256   := # I want to maintain only my patch series locally...
include $(PTXDIST_TOPDIR)/rules/systemd.make

Unfortunately, this does not work as desired:
~/git/rootfs$ ~/git/ptxdist/bin/ptxdist --force extract systemd

-----------------------
target: systemd.extract
-----------------------

patchin: no patches found
finished target systemd.extract

In fact, all targets given to this package don't behave:
~/git/rootfs$ ~/git/ptxdist/bin/ptxdist --force targetinstall systemd

----------------------------------
target: systemd.targetinstall.post
----------------------------------

finished target systemd.targetinstall.post

Any ideas on either other approaches to tackle this problem or
direction on where to start hacking at the ptxdist code to make my
approach workable?

Regards,
-Jon

Hi,

I was able to solve my problem below :)
I defined my local rules file as follows in order to "fool" the
ptxd_is_pkg_makefile() function in
scrips/lib/ptxd_make_world_check_src.sh:

~/git/rootfs$ cat rules/systemd.make
#
# We provide this package
#
OVERLAY_PACKAGES-$(PTXCONF_SYSTEMD) += systemd

SYSTEMD_SERIES_SHA256   :=
0560688f87a3232377c24263245e401629da11de366e52e40275e142a5024268
include $(PTXDIST_TOPDIR)/rules/systemd.make

The choice of "OVERLAY_" prefix was arbitrary. It doesn't matter what
the prefix is before the *PACKAGES- line is as long as it is
"^[A-Z_]*" and not the same as the one found in
$(PTXDIST_TOPDIR)/rules/*.make file
