This is used for the binary package recipe, it's been suggested that it
would be a useful feature to be able to easily take an RPM or similar
containing a software binary from a 3rd party software vendor and
integrate it into an image created by the build system.
* Brief introduction
- The binary pkg can be .rpm, .deb, .ipk and other formats which can
be unpacked by bitbake fetcher.
- Let bitbake unpack the bianry package, just like unpack the source
package.
- Skip the do_configure and do_compile.
- Install the files to ${D}
- Other steps are similar to the source package's recipe.
* Note:
- The "subdir" parameter in the SRC_URI is useful for the binary
package recipe, so I added an example in the comment.
- I have sent a patch to bitbake-devel mailing list to support
unpack the .rpm, .ipk, and .deb files.
