Packages linux-libc-dev and linux-libc-dev-${DISTRO_ARCH}-cross were
added to PROVIDES variable unconditionally, while those packages are
not really built until KERNEL_LIBC_DEV_DEPLOY enabled (which is set to
"0" by default).

Add libc-dev packages to PROVIDES only if there are no 'nolibcdev'
Debian build profile used so PROVIDES will be always in sync with real
set of packages being built.

Hi,

This could be simplified down to something like this which would avoid 
creating new functions and be consistent with other places in 
linux-custom.inc:

RECIPE_PROVIDES:append = " ${@ bb.utils.contains('DEB_BUILD_PROFILES', 
'nolibcdev', '', 'linux-libc-dev linux-libc-dev-${DISTRO_ARCH}-cross', 
d) }"

What do you think?

Cheers,
Isaac

Hello Isaac,

The motivation was to keep the same format of deps declare as previously
(multi-line list), so it will be easier to maintain in the future.
So maybe something hybrid should be better, like:

RECIPE_PROVIDES:append = " ${@ bb.utils.contains('DEB_BUILD_PROFILES', 
'nolibcdev', '', d.getVar('RECIPE_PROVIDES_LIBC_DEV'), d) }"

I'm also not happy with RECIPE_PROVIDES_LIBC_DEV naming, but didn't came up
with better one.

OVERRIDES:append = "${@bb.utils.contains('DEB_BUILD_PROFILES', 'nolibcdev', '', ''libcdev')}"

RECIPE_PROVIDES:append:libcdev = " \
    linux-libc-dev \
    linux-libc-dev-${DISTRO_ARCH}-cross"

That would be truly aligned with the other bits in the file.
