meta-oe: gpsd depends on meta-python unconditionally

[lumag]

Adding just meta-oe results in the following error from bitbake:

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'python3-pyserial' (but ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-navigation/gpsd/gpsd_3.25.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
NOTE: Runtime target 'python3-pyserial' is unbuildable, removing...
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['python3-pyserial']
NOTE: Runtime target 'gpsd' is unbuildable, removing...
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['gpsd', 'python3-pyserial']
...

Please make this part conditionally depend on the meta-python being enabled.

maybe we can make it conditional with a PACKAGECONFIG, disabled by default

PACKAGECONFIG[ubxtool] = ",,python3-pyserial"

introduced in 1266c91

Well, there is also a second issue: if there is a CI for meta-oe, it needs to be updated to catch such issues. I unfortunately don't know enough details of the CI setup to approach this problem.

I send a fix for this: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-devel/message/112456

I believe the yocto-check-layer can catch this type of things.

It is not. With just meta-oe added and with the default configuration I'm still getting:

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'python3-pyserial' (but /home/lumag/Projects/RPB/build-rpb/conf/../../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-navigation/gpsd/gpsd_3.25.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

ERROR: Required build target 'gpsd' has no buildable providers.

[quaresmajose]

well! in reality I didn't remove the problem.

 RDEPENDS:python3-pygps = " \
   python3-core \
   python3-io \
-  python3-pyserial \
   python3-threading \
   python3-terminal \
   gpsd \
   python3-json"

Thanks for notifying me
I will have to come back to this again

Please also check that RDEPENDS get addded back if pyserial is enabled

I am sorry for the delay, I will be able to run tests next week.

Seems to be working now, thank you!
