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.

meta: more removals of redunant FILES_${PN}-dbg

2015-12-16T11:56:30+00:00

In some recipes overly-split -dbg packages were merged into PN-dbg. Unless there's a very good reason, recipes should have a single -dev and -dbg package. (From OE-Core rev: a3b000643898d7402b9e57c02e8d10e677cc9722) Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

mc: Add 'inherit pkgconfig'

2014-03-05T15:50:22+00:00

mc's configure script uses pkg-config so we should 'inherit pgkconfig' to ensure the sysroot is properly populated. Currently we are lucky as mc DEPENDS on glib-2.0 which inherits pkgconfig but we should not rely on this dependency chain.

Replace one-line DESCRIPTION with SUMMARY

2014-01-02T12:50:18+00:00

A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the recipe / package where possible.

mc: Don't remove libdir and split helpers into packages

2013-07-05T14:34:23+00:00

It contains helper programs that are needed to make mc do the right actions for the various file formats it understands. The helpers are perl, python and shell scripts, split them out so the core mc does not try to pull in perl and python, it will still run without these helpers.

PR bump for all recipes that DEPEND on ncurses

The packaging changes to ncurses could break package feeds, so bump the PR on everythong that DEPENDS on ncurses. (From OE-Core rev: be92256917c157284ef8370bb93bbf443849b2e1) Signed-off-by: Scott Garman Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
