recipes: Move out stale GPLv2 versions to a seperate layer

2017-03-07T20:05:31+00:00

These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license. There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions and those in the v2 versions. There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues. Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp) since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here. I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.

dosfstools_2.11: fix build following removal of -e from EXTRA_OEMAKE

2016-02-28T11:33:06+00:00

Also misc formatting tweaks to align with v3.0.28 recipe and remove BBCLASSEXTEND = "native" (native builds should always use the GPLv3 recipe). (From OE-Core rev: 375c26ce229cd9dc90b5e7c4b8e6d52d832b606e) Signed-off-by: Andre McCurdy Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: place files in /sbin, not in /usr/sbin

2014-10-10T15:44:32+00:00

systemd expects fsck programs to be located in /sbin and fails for dosfstools with | Checking was requested for ..., but /sbin/fsck.vfat cannot be used: No such file or directory Other fsck programs (e.g. ext4) are located in /sbin already so move vfat programs into this directory too.

Don't set DESCRIPTION to the same value as SUMMARY

2013-12-03T17:45:52+00:00

Setting DESCRIPTION to the same value as SUMMARY doesn't do anything, since the value of DESCRIPTION will be derived from SUMMARY if not specified. (From OE-Core rev: e1e888585c84175580ad822d4a6c93f62e5ce16c) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: really compile supporting large files

2013-03-29T10:40:55+00:00

Makefile in the package tries to set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, but we clobber that with our CFLAGS, so we add it in the recipe. [CQID: 409915] (From OE-Core rev: ac904b9e10ec9641686bc35dcf200b9b855899b1) Signed-off-by: Joe Slater Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Add missing SUMMARY fields to various recipes

dosfstools: fix populated image creation with dirs

2011-12-15T14:36:24+00:00

This fixes bug: [YOCTO #1783] Fix populated image creation. Earlier subdirectories support was broken, and files can only be placed in the root directory. Now directory hirarchy is supported in the image. Also support for long names is extended to directory names. There are some outstanding issues as documented in the patch header, these issues can be worked around by running dosfsck tool after populated image creation. The dosfsck tool is also part of this package. (From OE-Core rev: 2de8f008b304017de7ca116aa79ef778ab40362d) Signed-off-by: Nitin A Kamble Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: Add patch to disable fat32 autoselection and behave as 2.10

2011-12-13T14:06:40+00:00

It appears msdos image population and fat32 images are incompatible. This reverts to the 2.10 behaviour of defaulting to fat16 instead of using fat32 for large images, allowing image generation to work correctly. This is a workaround and a proper fix is really needed.
