[Q] Yocto Integration #2648

Open benmordaunt opened 2 years ago

benmordaunt commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to write a Yocto/BitBake recipe which wraps WALinuxAgent. Therefore, I need to ensure that the build honours all paths and distro features of a cross-build, instead of querying native Python paths.

At the moment, I am using the --lnx-distro, --lnx-distro-version and --lnx-distro-name user flags, as well as maintaining a fork which identifies my particular Yocto-based Linux distro.

The setup.py script appears to still use the "legacy" install method instead of Python wheels. This means that the setuptools3.bbclass BitBake bbclass, which uses bdist_wheel distribution strategy doesn't work brilliantly well. In particular, it seems I can no longer specify the --lnx- flags to enable the cross-build.

Could you provide any advice? Is there any intention of upgrading to Python3 wheels?

Thanks

@benmordaunt Sorry, at this point we don't have any plans to upgrade to Python3 weeks. I'll leave this issue open so that we can get to it at a later date.
