There doesn't seem to be much consistency in the way LICENSE is handled for recipes which don't need to define anything in SRC_URI.
- Packagegroup recipes have a default LICENSE in packagegroup.bbclass and generally don't define their own value, for reasons explained in: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=c04ae17f439ffd5fd70d8564430a94582e2cf688 - Image recipes have a default LICENSE in image.bbclass but generally always explicitly define the value again. A precedent for doing that seems to have been set by: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=fb617bed6ebbb17ca9a14ea5985302b03311ccb7 - SDK recipes (anything inheriting populate_sdk) don't have a default LICENSE and must explicitly define one in each recipe. Given that LICENSE is meant to apply to the sources associated with a recipe, not the recipe itself, shouldn't all these cases be following the approach currently taken by packagegroup recipes (ie a default set by the appropriate class and no LICENSE in the recipe)? Or is there a fundamental difference between these cases which justifies the three different approaches? -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
