1 | OE-Core aims to be able to provide basic LSB compatible images. There | ||
2 | are some challenges for OE as LSB isn't always 100% relevant to its | ||
3 | target embedded and IoT audiences. | ||
4 | |||
5 | One challenge is that the LSB spec is no longer being actively | ||
6 | developed [https://github.com/LinuxStandardBase/lsb] and has | ||
7 | components which are end of life or significantly dated. OE | ||
8 | therefore provides compatibility with the following caveats: | ||
9 | |||
10 | * Qt4 is provided by the separate meta-qt4 layer. Its noted that Qt4 | ||
11 | is end of life and this isn't something the core project regularly | ||
12 | tests any longer. Users are recommended to group together to support | ||
13 | maintenance of that layer. [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qt4/] | ||
14 | |||
15 | * mailx has been dropped since its no longer being developed upstream | ||
16 | and there are better, more modern replacements such as s-nail | ||
17 | (http://sdaoden.eu/code.html) or mailutils (http://mailutils.org/). | ||
18 | |||
19 | * A few perl modules that were required by LSB 4.x aren't provided: | ||
20 | libclass-isa, libenv, libdumpvalue, libfile-checktree, | ||
21 | libi18n-collate, libpod-plainer. | ||
22 | |||
23 | * libpng 1.2 isn't provided; oe-core includes the latest release of libpng | ||
24 | instead. | ||
