Add support for INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE?

[lnussel]

In Yocto one can set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE to prevent inclusion of packages with the listed licenses in an image. Any plans to implement that also in Isar?

Hello lnussel,
no specific plans till now, but I'm curious about this.
90% of the use cases I'm aware of are Debian + proprietary, where Debian is compatible within itself.
Checking that in Isar might be a bit trickier than in Yocto because we don't have 1:1 package-recipe relationships.
Can you share a specific example of incompatible licenses for your use case?

The usual GPLv3 story...
I guess this would require integrating something like https://github.com/daald/dpkg-licenses

This challenge surely does not start with isar. First of all, you need maintained package alternatives for things like coreutils. Apertis did some work on that IIRC.

Ok, so this is about

• creating an own distro,
• using Isar to build it,
• and having Isar helpers with licensing

Sounds interesting
