Cleaning recipes after build in Yocto - build

I know to reduce the disk space, we need to add INHERIT += "rm_work" in the local.conf, I added in local.conf, but it is still not deleting the files after building the recipe.
bitbake -e core-image-minimal | grep ^INHERIT
INHERIT=" multilib_global rm_work poky-sanity uninative package_rpm buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink debian devshell sstate license remove-libtool blacklist sanity"
INHERIT_BLACKLIST="blacklist"
INHERIT_DISTRO="debian devshell sstate license remove-libtool"
I verified by looking at log.task_order of a particular recipe, what I am missing here.
do_fetch (12251): log.do_fetch.12251
do_prepare_recipe_sysroot (12440): log.do_prepare_recipe_sysroot.12440

rpm -q -> query only the descripton

I can query the informations about a rpm-package with

Summary : A Tool for Automating Interactive Programs
Description :
Expect is a tool primarily for automating interactive applications,
such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, and more. Expect
really makes this stuff trivial. Expect is also useful for testing
these applications. It is described in many books, articles, papers,
and FAQs. There is an entire book on it available from O'Reilly.
Distribution: openSUSE 13.2
But I only want to query the Description. Is that possible?
The reason for that is that I want to process this information (the Description) in a C++ Program (I do this with popen()).
Maybe something like this:
rpm -qi -Description expect-5.45-16.1.3.i586
This is the correct sollution:
rpm -q --queryformat '%{DESCRIPTION}\n' expect-5.45-16.1.3.i586
[EDIT for openSUSE rpm output]:
rpm -qi package_name | sed '1,/Description/d;/Distribution/,$d'
This will only print lines between "Description" and "Distribution"
[The below cmds work for RHEL distros]
I do not believe the "rpm" utility has a flag to only print out the "Description" field, but it's as simple as using a pipe :)
You could do:
rpm -qi openssh-server-5.3p1-104.el6.x86_64 | awk '/Description/, 0'
Which will print every line after the pattern "Description" is found.
Or, if you're more inclined to use "grep":
rpm -qi openssh-server-5.3p1-104.el6.x86_64 | grep -A20 'Description'
the "-A n" flag tells grep to print n lines After the pattern is found.
***Edit: you may also use "sed":
rpm -qi openssh-server-5.3p1-104.el6.x86_64 | sed -e '1,/Description/ d'
Hope this helps.

Problems building Qt Static 5.3.2

So I am trying to build Qt-Static 5.3.2. I am using a powershell script I downloaded to simplify the process but clearly it is not working. I am going to be tackling each error individually for the rest of the day. I am a beginner and I don't fully understand the build process so any bits of advice and insights is welcomed and appreciated.
I have posted the output on this dropbox link because it has 10X the characters that is allowed.

.SYNOPSIS
Build a static version of Qt for Windows.
.DESCRIPTION
This scripts downloads Qt source code, compiles and installs a static version
of Qt. It assumes that a prebuilt Qt / MinGW environment is already installed,
typically in C:\Qt. This prebuilt environment uses shared libraries. It is
supposed to remain the main development environment for Qt. This script adds
a static version of the Qt libraries in order to allow the construction of
standalone and self-sufficient executable.
This script is typically run from the Windows Explorer.
Requirements:
- Windows PowerShell 3.0 or higher.
- 7-zip.
.PARAMETER QtSrcUrl
URL of the Qt source file archive.
By default, use the latest identified version.
.PARAMETER QtStaticDir
Root directory where the static versions of Qt are installed.
By default, use C:\Qt\Static.
.PARAMETER QtVersion
The Qt version. By default, this script tries to extract the version number
from the Qt source file name.
.PARAMETER MingwDir
Root directory of the MinGW prebuilt environment. By default, use the version
which was installed by the prebuilt Qt environment.
.PARAMETER NoPause
Do not wait for the user to press <enter> at end of execution. By default,
execute a "pause" instruction at the end of execution, which is useful
when the script was run from Windows Explorer.

Unix CLI script to rename folders using their pre-existing names

I have a directory with folder structure as follows:
-- DATA -- ABD 1231345 -- 01-08-12 // date in mm-dd-yy format
-- 03-09-12
-- 06-11-12
-- DEF 4859480 -- 02-10-12
-- 05-10-12
-- 07-10-12
I would like to batch rename this DATA folder as follows
-- DATA -- ABD 1231345 -- 2012_01_08 // date in yyyy_mm_dd format with underscore
-- 2012_03_09
-- 2012_06_11
-- DEF 4859480 -- 2012_02_10
-- 2012_05_10
-- 2012_07_10
Do you have a suggestion on how to accomplish using command line on Mac OSX / unix?
You could use a for loop and awk, parsing each file-name into your specified format and then mv to rename the original to the new name:
for dir in DATA/*; do \
pushd "$dir"; # change directory \
for file in *; do \
path=`echo $file | awk -F- '{print "20"$3"_"$1"_"$2}'`; \
mv $file $path; # "rename" the file \
done; \
popd; # restore original directory \
done;
This can be executed in folder above DATA. If you want to execute it directly in DATA, update the first loop to read for dir in *; do instead of DATA/*. It tells awk to use the - as the delimiter (instead of whitespace), and then reconstructs a string from "mm-dd-yy" to "20yy_mm_dd".
Using pushd and popd will enable the script to change the current directory to each subdirectory inside DATA (pushd) and then, after moving all necessary files will change back to the original (popd). Doing this will save you a lot of parsing-effort trying to save directory paths / etc.
You could use string manipulations and arrays to do that with bash only.
Something like:
for f in * ; do
parts=(${f//-/ })
mv "$f" "20${parts[2]}_${parts[1]}_${parts[0]}"
done
Search this site for various options to recurse into directories e.g.:
Shell script to traverse directories
Use the date command to convert the file name:
$ date -j -f %m-%d-%y 01-08-12 +%Y_%m_%d
2012_01_08
Getting to the files is a little tricker. We'll just switch directories to avoid dealing with long file paths.
for d in DATA; do
pushd "$d"
for f in *; do
new_f=$(date -j -f %m-%d-%y $f +%Y_%m_%d)
mv "$f" "$new_f"
done
popd
done
This site gives a good snippet
for i in *.avi; do j=`echo $i | sed 's/(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/20\3_\1_\2/g'`; mv "$i" "$j"; done

VisualSVN post-commit hook with batch file

I'm running VisualSVN on a Windows server.
I'm trying to add a post-commit hook to update our staging project whenever a commit happens.
In VisualSVN, if I type the command in the hook/post-commit dialog, everything works great.
However, if I make a batch file with the exact same command, I get an error that says the post-commit hook has failed. There is no additional information.
My command uses absolute paths.
I've tried putting the batch file in the VisualSVN/bin directory, I get the same error there.
I've made sure VisualSVN has permissions for the directories where the batch file is.
The only thing I can think of is I'm not calling it correctly from VisualSVN. I'm just replacing the svn update command in the hook/post-commit dialog with the batch file name ("c:\VisualSVN\bin\my-batch-file.bat") I've tried it with and without the path (without the path it doesn't find the file at all).
Do I need to use a different syntax in the SVNCommit dialog to call the batch file? What about within the batch file (It just has my svn update command. It works if I run the batch file from the command line.)
Ultimately I want to use a batch file because I want to do a few more things after the commit.
When using VisualSVN > Select the Repo > Properties > Hooks > Post-commit hook.
Where is the code I use for Sending an Email then running a script, which has commands I want to customize
"%VISUALSVN_SERVER%\bin\VisualSVNServerHooks.exe" ^
commit-notification "%1" -r %2 ^
--from support#domainname.com --to "support#domainname.com" ^
--smtp-server mail.domainname.com ^
--no-diffs ^
--detailed-subject
--no-html
set PWSH=%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
%PWSH% -command $input ^| C:\ServerScripts\SVNScripts\post-commit-wp.ps1 %1 %2
if errorlevel 1 exit %errorlevel%
The script file is located on C:\ServerScripts\SVNScripts\
post-commit-wp.ps1 and I pass in two VisualSVN variables as %1 and %2
%1 = serverpathwithrep
%2 = revision number
The script file is written in Windows PowerShell
# PATH TO SVN.EXE
$svn = "C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svn.exe"
$pathtowebistesWP = "c:\websites-wp\"
# STORE HOOK ARGUMENTS INTO FRIENDLY NAMES
$serverpathwithrep = $args[0]
$revision = $args[1]
# GET DIR NAME ONLY FROM REPO-PATH STRING
# EXAMPLE: C:\REPOSITORIES\DEVHOOKTEST
# RETURNS 'DEVHOOKTEST'
$dirname = ($serverpathwithrep -split '\\')[-1]
# Combine ServerPath with Dir name
$exportpath = -join($pathtowebistesWP, $dirname);
# BUILD URL TO REPOSITORY
$urepos = $serverpathwithrep -replace "\\", "/"
$url = "file:///$urepos/"
# --------------------------------
# SOME TESTING SCRIPTS
# --------------------------------
# STRING BUILDER PATH + DIRNAME
$name = -join($pathtowebistesWP, "testscript.txt");
# CREATE FILE ON SERVER
New-Item $name -ItemType file
# APPEND TEXT TO FILE
Add-Content $name $pathtowebistesWP
Add-Content $name $exportpath
# --------------------------------
# DO EXPORT REPOSITORY REVISION $REVISION TO THE ExportPath
&"$svn" export -r $revision --force "$url" $exportpath
I added comments to explain each line and what it does. In a nutshell, the scripts:
Gets all the parameters
Build a local dir path
Runs SVN export
Places files to a website/publish directory.
Its a simple way of Deploying your newly committed code to a website.
Did you try to execute batch file using 'call' command? I mean:
call C:\Script\myscript.bat
I was trying the same thing and found that you also must have the script in the hooks folder.. the bat file that is.

Autoconf macro for Boost MPI?

I'm searching an autoconf macro to use in my configure.ac that checks for Boost MPI.
It's not hard to find a couple of them on the Internet but none of the one I tried worked as expected.
What ax_boost_mpi.m4 do you use?
EDIT: I'll explain my requirement better. I need the macro to tell me if Boost MPI is available or not (defining HAVE_BOOST_MPI) to store the compiler and linker flags somewhere and to switch the compiler from the nornal c++ compiler to an available mpiCC or mpic++.
If the Boost MPI is not found I'd like to be able to choose if I want to stop the configuration process with an error or continue using g++ without HAVE_BOOST_MPI defined.
As a plus it should define an MPIRUN variable to allow running some checks.
I'm unaware of a turnkey solution here, but that doesn't mean one's unavailable.
With some work, you could probably adapt http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_mpi.html#ax_mpi and http://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4 to do what you want. The former digging up the MPI compiler and the latter checking for Boost MPI. You'd have to add a Boost MPI check to boost.m4 as it doesn't have one. You'd have to add your own MPIRUN-searching mechanism.
If you find a solution and/or roll your own, please do share.

# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_BOOST_MPI
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Test for MPI library from the Boost C++ libraries. The macro
# requires a preceding call to AX_BOOST_BASE, AX_BOOST_SERIALIZATION
# and AX_MPI. You also need to set CXX="$MPICXX" before calling the
# macro.
#
# This macro calls:
#
# AC_SUBST(BOOST_MPI_LIB)
#
# And sets:

This comment is a bit late, but I will add it here so that others searching for the same topic can find it. I had personally been looking for a function integrated into boost.m4 that defined similar variables as the other boost libraries (BOOST_MPI_LDFLAGS, BOOST_MPI_LIBS). I finally just added one and submitted a pull request here:
https://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4/pull/50
This uses the MPICXX variable for CXX/CXXCPP if it is already defined (by ax_mpi.m4, acx_mpi.m4, etc), otherwise it uses the existing CXX/CXXCPP.
