[yocto] Package Level Dependencies

[sebastian.rohde at tu-dortmund.de]

Hi,

I have a recipe (say: "test123") that provides a complex piece of software (cmake-based). The software needs some configuration file (say "test123.conf"). There are multiple variants of the configuration file, sharing the same name, i.e. "test123.conf" exists in different variants for multiple hardware configurations.

My aim would be to have multiple packages like "test123-config-XXX" and "test123-config-YYY", that cannot be installed at the same time, while having one of the packages is a dependency for the main package "test123".

Is there a way to achieve this? From my current understanding, dependencies are "per-recipe" and not "per-package". Is there any way to achieve package level dependencies? I would like to avoid having multiple recipes as there are many configuration file options which are currently located in the same large source repository as the main software.

Help ist strongly appreciated.

Regards,
Sebastian Rohde
