Hi,

We want to add recipe for varlink library to meta-oe.
varlink/libvarlink: C implementation of the Varlink protocol and command line tool (github.com)

This recipe exists in meta-wayland
meta-wayland/libvarlink_git.bb at master · MarkusVolk/meta-wayland (github.com)

But varlink is an IPC alternative to dbus and its doesn’t have dependency on wayland.
So, we don’t want to include meta-wayland as we don’t need.

We have asked meta-wayland author regarding same and he is ok with moving varlink outside of meta-wayland.
Upstream libvarlink recipe to poky/meta-oe · Issue #4 · MarkusVolk/meta-wayland (github.com)

Also, we have asked openembedded-core, he suggests us to add it to meta-oe.
openembedded-core@... | Proposal to add recipe for varlink library

Should we add this recipe to meta-oe/recipe-core?

if it is an independent and common enough tool/library then it might be ok.
someone has to signup to maintain this recipe and keep it uptodate.
