Dear all,
Given the discussions on quality that sometimes pop up (and also triggered
by Robert's message), I decided to kick off a bitbake -k world.
Could you first explain to me why 'bitbake world' is a good way to
measure quality?
I would think that building something like console-image and looking at
the following would be a much better metric:
* does it build?
* are all the rootfs types working?
* does the image do what it is supposed to do?
* Are all the licenses of the output packages correct?
* Do the output packages have any spurious deps?
* Is the content of the output packages correct?
* Are there any known CVEs in the resulting packages?
* Did packaged-staging do its job?
* What kind of QA errors and warnings were raised?
* Did all recipes pass recipe_sanity?
* Did all recipes conform to oe-stylize.py?
etc
I would actually advocate removing the 'world' feature from bitbake/OE
to stop people from wasting time on looking at bitbake world and have
them fix actual problems.
bitbake world seems to be the source of pointless listserv discussions.
Does it serve any purpose?
