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.

sed: Cope with ${bindir} and ${base_bindir} being the same

${bindir} and ${base_bindir} may be the same. If they are don't try and move files onto themselves. (From OE-Core rev: ab1452cacce6584bab27b73fc1e22d603606ecda) Signed-off-by: Mike Crowe Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

sed-native: drop

2015-02-02T12:41:12+00:00

This was added back in the depths of history (around 2006 in OE-Classic) when apparently the host sed couldn't always be relied upon. We now call the host sed all over the place without this dependency and don't have any problems. On the other hand, having it around can lead to races where we're calling sed in one task and staging it to the sysroot in another, the result being nasty failures compiling binutils for example. Since it isn't needed, let's just drop it completely. Fixes [YOCTO #7264]. (From OE-Core rev: 863a3966e1a200e7a15fbdbb8e04dce6e3f6c1a2) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Add texinfo.bbclass; recipes that use texinfo utils at build-time inherit it.

2014-05-02T19:46:59+00:00

The class itself currently does nothing. The idea is to mark all recipes that make use of the texinfo utilities. In the future, this class could be used to suppress the generation/formatting of documentation for performance, explicitly track dependencies on these utilities, and eliminate Yocto's current dependency on the host system's texinfo utilities.

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.
