8.93. package_tar.bbclass

The package_tar class provides support for creating tarballs. The class ensures the packages are written out in a tarball format to the ${DEPLOY_DIR_TAR} directory.

This class inherits the package class and is enabled through the PACKAGE_CLASSES variable in the local.conf file.

Note

You cannot specify the package_tar class first using the PACKAGE_CLASSES variable. You must use .deb, .ipk, or .rpm file formats for your image or SDK.
