minimal image without GPLv3

Hi,

I am yocto-izing people again and someone asked how to build a minimal Yocto image without GPLv3 components.

I said like this[1]

1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0 AGPL-3.0"

... and indeed a core-image-minimal was built with alternative packages like busybox instead of bash ...

but it did not run on qemu due to some kernel issues.

I did not investigate it further, but is this s known problem?

Regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Not that I know of - and on the face of it it seems unlikely that this would be related, unless perhaps the bootloader changed - most of the parts that are switched out under these circumstances are part of userspace; the tools used to build the kernel should be the same.

In any event this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Could you perhaps file a bug for this with more details?

Thanks,
Paul
