Hi There are so many versions of toolchain components gcc/binutils/glibc that we have in metadata. I would like to reduce the number and keep supporting the ones we really use. Right now we have recipes for
binutils = 2.14.90.0.6,2.14.90.0.7, 2.15.94.0.1, 2.16, 2.16.1, 2.16.91.0.6, 2.16.91.0.7, 2.17, 2.17.50.1, 2.17.50.0.5, 2.17.50.0.8, 2.17.50.0.12, 2.18, 2.18.50.0.7, 2.18.atmel.1.0.1, 2.19, 2.19.1, 2.19.51, 2.19.51.0.3, 2.20, 2.20.1, cvs gcc = 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 3.4.3, 3.4.4, 3.4.6, 4.0.0, 4.0.2, 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 4.5, csl-arm-2007q3, csl-arm-2008q1, csl-arm-2008q3 glibc = 2.2.5, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.5+cvs20050627, 2.5, 2.6.1, 2.9, 2.10.1, cvs uclibc = 0.9.28, 0.9.29, 0.9.30, 0.9.30.1, 0.9.30.2, 0.9.30.3, 0.9.31, git eglibc = 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, svn They all use common files. So whenever there is a bugfix needed its a very hard job to first create a common fix that works across all versions secondly verify if it works and I am sure 80% of recipe versions mentioned here dont even build So I am going to propose to remove most of them which dont build and request the distro and machine maintainers to please update the list of toolchain components to keep. Please voice which versions should we really really keep. This should be a set which is buildable and functional. If I dont hear on this in coming weeks then I have a plan in my mind on which versions to keep Thanks -Khem _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
