Now there is no way to distinguish if the following is intensional by
the package maintainer or an oversight without taking a closer look at
the contents
NOTE: the following files were installed but not shipped in any package:
NOTE: /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so
NOTE: /usr/lib/.debug/libpython2.4.so.1.0
NOTE: /usr/share/man/man1/python.1
NOTE: /usr/bin/python2.4
NOTE: /usr/bin/smtpd.py
NOTE: /usr/bin/.debug/python
Maybe we should have something in insane.bb to take care of the
intentionally unpackaged crusts. So we can do something like the
following in a bb file to intensionally leave out some garbage unpackaged:
UNSHIPPED = "${libdir}/libpython2.4.so ${bindir}/smtpd.py" #reason why
not package/ship it
so during do_package or package_QA, it would show as
NOTE: the following files were installed but not shipped in any package:
NOTE: /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so UNSHIPPED #reason why not
packaged/ship it
NOTE: /usr/lib/.debug/libpython2.4.so.1.0
NOTE: /usr/share/man/man1/python.1
NOTE: /usr/bin/python2.4
NOTE: /usr/bin/smtpd.py UNSHIPPED #reason why not packaged/ship it
NOTE: /usr/bin/.debug/python
Is SUNK a better word than UNSHIPPED?
