Re: [poky] Installing a third-party package

Yocto is not Debian, and the runtime environment does not provide
exactly same packages at the same versions. You can set the packaging
backed to .deb, that does not in any way make the resulting
distribution compatible with Debian.

You need to convince the vendor to build their code using yocto, with
a yocto recipe. Or have them deliver the source code, and build it
yourself with a recipe.

a third-party package that would be closer to installing the package on fir=
