      Description

      Compression was added to mender-artifact which is available to yocto builds with the newer recipes added for it.

      In https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/master/meta-mender-core/classes/mender-artifactimg.bbclass

      There doesn’t seem to be any provision to set mender-artifact global options like compression. MENDER_ARTIFACT_EXTRA_ARGS adds command args and cannot be used for global options. We provide a MENDER_ARTIFACT_GLOBAL_ARGS variable to support change of compression in yocto builds.

      For example:

      from this:
       
      mender-artifact write rootfs-image \
      -n ${MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME} \
      $extra_args \
      $image_flag ${IMGDEPLOYDIR}/${ARTIFACTIMG_NAME}.${ARTIFACTIMG_FSTYPE} \
      ${MENDER_ARTIFACT_EXTRA_ARGS} \
      -o ${IMGDEPLOYDIR}/${IMAGE_NAME}${IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX}.mender

      to

         mender-artifact ${MENDER_ARTIFACT_GLOBAL_ARGS} write rootfs-image \
      -n ${MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME} \
      $extra_args \
      $image_flag ${IMGDEPLOYDIR}/${ARTIFACTIMG_NAME}.${ARTIFACTIMG_FSTYPE} \
      ${MENDER_ARTIFACT_EXTRA_ARGS} \
      -o ${IMGDEPLOYDIR}/${IMAGE_NAME}${IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX}.mender
