Hi All, I'm sending this to oe-arch as it seems the best place to mention/discuss it. After reading an email about encouraging best practises when supporting older software releases, it got me thinkin

Hi All, There has been some interest in some older bugs about empty packages and bogus dependencies and what we should do about them. Yohan and Fawzi were kind enough to post some patches to prompt so

I was asked about a WORKDIR/fetcher interaction problem and the bugs it results in. I've tried to write down my thoughts. The unpack task writes it's output to WORKDIR as base.bbclass says: fetcher =

Your email prompted me to check my own software (Dropbear) and it showed a few y2038 issues to fix. Those bugs wouldn't be noticed from a quick test - it "only" prevented auth and idle timeouts from o

Some time ago I filed https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6803 as Debian has a nice sanity check where it warns if non-LFS glibc functions are used. I imagine the same logic could be use

Hi Alexander, Please find a few comments: 1. There is already provided meta-y2038 [1] to test if 32 bit systems correctly support Y2038 problem. It uses qemu machines from OE/Yocto 2. There are ptest

Hi Richard, Y2038 ptests maybe? Here is the list of integrated tests to ptests: https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests Could you be more specific here? Would you like to disable some syscalls? Could

Hi, I've a few things I've been pondering for a while and given the summit and OEDVM this week, I thought I'd sent out this email and some RFC patches. Export variable flag (and unexport/network) ----

I thought I'd quickly write down some notes on the relocatable binary "problem" we have. We have a need to be able to run our binaries with a different dynamic loader in a few cases which basically co

I'm starting a new thread/discussion on this with a new perspective. I did a little research myself on how these files are being used. My conclusion is that templateconf.cfg isn't really used by much

Hi all, I thought the agreement was to stop promoting meta-gplv2? Still I find it listed here - it somehow implies that this is still officially support, which everyone agreed it isn't Can this be rem

Dear all, (cross-posting to oe-core and *-architecture) In the last months, we have worked in Oniro on using the create-spdx class for both IP compliance and security. During this work, Alberto Pianon

Hi Joshua, nice to meet you! I'm new to this list, and I've always approached Yocto just from the "IP compliance side", so I may miss important pieces of information. That is why Marta encouraged me a

I was asked about getting official support for the TOOLCHAIN variable in core. This is obviously late in the release cycle and after a bit of thought, the answer is no. I wanted to document why since
