I was checking libcdaudio for LICENSE info.
recipe says GPL
COPYING file is the GPLv2 one
README file says:
libcdaudio is distributed under the GNU Library General Public
License, included in this package under the top level source directory
in the file COPYING
C files also mention LGPL. but say v2 or later
What to do with this in the LICENSE field? LGPLv2+ ?
This seems reasonable, you should also include the header chunk in the
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM, you can specify start and end lines for the checksum.
Yes, I'm aware of this. Would you want to add all the header chunks
that state this, or only e.g. the most important one (assuming such a
file can be identified)
I've seen the text in different files.
I would suggest the most important one as mostly those headers would be
the same. Picking something like a common header file or the file that
contains main() would make sense.
Also is poky planning to take this recipe? If not, it is kind-a
pointless for me to update it, so I'd rather waste time on something
else :-)
At this point I think the work you are doing is valuable but better
suited to live in a layer. The core is really targeted to be as generic
as possible to allow for a broad variety of devices.
Richard recently suggested that a repo be created for such meta layers.
We are working out the details on creating and opening up that repo.
Sau!
Saul,
We don't have this feature in OpenEmbedded yet... But it would be nice to
port
it from Poky though! :)
Note that adding/using LIC_FILES_CHKSUM in OE should be harmless as
it is a var, which is not used.
So if we wnat to move into that dir we might consider keeping the
field in the OE recipes (currently for libaudio it is not there)
Denys, sorry I saw this via my poky email and did not notice it was OE also,
I will what what I cross post next time!
The recipe is also in OE and of course suffers from the same issue.
That's why I posted to both lists.
Glad to hear that you like the idea! We will have all Poky recipes
checksummed this week!
Cool!
Frans
