7.79. package_tar.bbclass

The package_tar class provides support for creating packages that use the .tar file format. The class ensures the packages are written out to the ${DEPLOY_DIR}/tar directory in a .tar file format.

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.
