The lzop is called in oe-core and I was under the impression that
oe-core shouldn't depend on anything except bitbake . So either this
stuff should be moved to meta-oe too (which would be unfortunate growth
of dependencies) or the lzop should be reinstated . I would obviously be
in favor of the later.
There are plenty of recipes in oe-core that have optional features
(enabled via PACKAGECONFIG) that depend on recipes that are not in
core. If you enable them, bitbake will say that the needed recipe is
missing and then you need to figure out which layer to add (typically
something in meta-openembedded tree). This is not that different:
optional feature, disabled by default, and the error will be the same:
missing lzop recipe.
I think this case is slightly different as this optional dependency might be
"enabled" by MACHINE config in some BSP layer and BSP layer depending on
meta-oe just to build the kernel (with BSP preferred compression) isn't great - compared
with some DISTRO config enabling some additional PACKAGECONFIG in some other recipe the
DISTRO uses.
do we have some data on how many machines are needing this ? if not
then I think we can say that
its not actively needed and few machines if any needing this can house
the recipe in the BSP layer
core support is still in core so that's good.
At least if Marek agrees to maintain it instead of restoring Denys as
maintainer :).
That's good although it will be nicer to see a wider use case to keep
it in core.
I can think of at least two SoM vendors that actively use this.
I don't think that's "a few machines if any".
