LSB is still being 'required' by some areas. But with that said, I don't think oe-core itself has to support it. But it is important enough (still) that with the addition of other layers it can be built, in at least some form. >> If anyone is actually interested in LSB in OE, the natural approach >> would in any case be to create a meta-lsb layer that could also >> implement the items in README.LSB like adding no longer provided >> recipes or depending on meta-qt4. >> >> Are there any objections against removing LSB support from oe-core? > > I'd actually be quite pleased with this: there can be a proper > meta-lsb which depends on meta-qt4 meta-oe etc and actually tries hard > to actually be LSB compliant. I thought we had this discussion either here or at one of the oedam/oedem meetings and decided exactly this. Create a meta-lsb and move the packagegroups, images, etc to it.. and have it setup the necessary layer dependencies. All expected to be minimal work and overall minimal maintenance, until it's no longer 'required'.
