Creating rpm packages?

[thomas]

Hello,
how can I create rpm packages with your distribution?
I compiled a lot of software and simply wanna have it as packages for simplier reinstallation if it is needed.

can someone help me please?

thank you very much

Hi,

In fact, the natural way of creating packages would be to add recipes in yocto : that way rpms would be automatically created
You can have a look at this post to generate your own yocto build
Then you can add your own layer with your own recipes (extensive documentation for yocto can be found here)
Especially, this doc and chapter §5.3 will describe how to write a recipe…
Regards
Stephan

I want to create the packages on the wandboard itself. I compile only on wandboard and dont use a build host.

so okay Im trying to find a way.

thanks for your help 🙂

hmm ok, I see…
Then, you should install the package rpm-build with smart
smart install rpm-build
In case you are faced with troubles the rpm is available
