Hi all,
Whilst the OE-Core-based layer landscape has grown quite a bit over
the last year and we now have a wealth of clean and up-to-date
recipes, I've heard a few people commenting that we've still lost
quite a few recipes along the way. Nobody who did make that comment
has seemed to be able to be specific about what they thought we were
missing however, so I figured it would be worth trying to determine
exactly which recipes are only available in OE-Classic.
With the help of some scripts I've produced a list of the recipes,
made some notes and categorised some of them. I've published the list
on the wiki (unfortunately I had to split it into two pages since it
was too large to put into one):
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OE-Classic_Recipes_A-I
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OE-Classic_Recipes_J-Z
I don't know much about a lot of these recipes, so if you can help to
fill in the gaps particularly by marking the obsolete ones as such or
adding other comments, that would be great. Either edit the pages
directly or make your comments here and I'll merge them.
Having the following software would be nice:
* 0xffff,0xffff-native //used for flashing the n900 and for interacting
with the n900 NAND partition(decoding what's on an MTD partition such
as wifi calibration, MAC address etc...)
* abiword plugins
* accelges : gesture recognition for the openmoko freerunner (gta02)
* asterisk recipes? could still be usefull...
* batctl //for mesh networking
* batmand //for mesh networking
* wscan,dvb* //for looking at dvb-t, some of my devices have USB
host.
* ekiga //would be nice for VOIP
* fennec //renamed to firefox mobile?
* flashrom //could be definitely usefull to flash BIOS from embedded
devices, I cross compiled it by hand for now, devices that have SPI
can flash SPI BIOS chips, such as the bug 2.0 or the rasberry pi
* geoclue // could be usefull if it can uses gpsd
* gnash //usefull to see flash animations even if now there is html5
for youtube
* gnuchess //nice chess engine but a bit too hard.
* gnumeric //should be very nice. like ooo/libreoffice calc.
* gst-ducati // would be really usefull for omap4.
* gst-player? //isn't it gst-123 or something like that in the new oe?
* intone-video //would be nice, like intone which is an efl music
player but for video.
* irssi //nice command line IRC client.
* linphone //VOIP client, no VOIP client seem present in the new oe.
* mpd-alsa, mpc, // do we have mpd in the new oe? if so that's nice.
what about graphical clients?
* mumudvb //would be nice, for straming dvb.
* nmap //nice for nmap -sP (for finding IP of local computers).
* openbmap-logger //same kind of softwaer than cellhunter(see below)
* privoxy //a proxy that can filter request, usefull for anonimizing
the connection or with tor.
* sflphone-common //is slfphone in the new oe?
* tesseract //could be usefull for making apps that uses a camera and
recognize text?
* totem
* tor //anonymity network.
* tshark,wireshark //usefull for debugging modem protocol in some
phones.
Games(All the free games that don't require 3d if possible):
* abuse (arcade game)
* bzflag? doesn't it require 3d acceleration?
* bzflag-server? is it required for bzflag?
* cellhunter //not really a game, it's rather a tool for mapping cell
* crimsonfields
towers with the freerunner, would be nice to have.
* freedoom // free software data (.wad) for the game named doom.
* frozen-bubble
* openttd* //train simulation
* opentryan
* rocksndiamonds
* supertux,supertux-qvga
* wordwarvi //great game
* xboard //also need a chess engine such as gnuchess or another one
* prboom ??? //not in the list, but probably not in the newer oe
either. doom game.
Misc comments:
* Aurora is in meta-smartphone I think.
* Eukrea uses barebox in its layers.
* We have a generic compat wireless that has almost all modules in the
new oe.
* concierge is an osgi implementation that was used in the buglabs bug
1.x and not used anymore in the buglabs bug 2.x
* emacs-x11 is already in the new oe, under the name of emacs(yes it
works with X11).
* fso2-demo-image //obsolete, probably doesn't work anymore because of
zhone
* fso2-console-image //available in meta-fso
* fso-console-image //replaced by fso2-console-image
* gnuradio-image //probably in meta-ettus?
Images should be kept out or to a minimum of mete-oe. Unless they really
work on a number of machines.
Philip
* gpsd-device-config //obsolete?
* linux-bug //kernel too old but no replacement, a 2.6.30 exist without
display and only serial is in mainline.
* linux-leviathan //obsolete, was for htc dream but got renamed.
* lowpan-tools //seem usefull for the nanonote and it's lowpan sdio
card. what's the status of the nanonote in the new oe? was there a
layer somewhere on some git hosting websites?
* madwifi-ng //obsoleted by the ath5k driver
* mokonnect //obsoleted by iliwi

freesmartphone API, usefull for finding the position of your lost
phone.
* tichy // not tested but may be really old...for the openmoko
* wesnoth-wvga // wesnoth-wvga is the equivalent of wesnoth in the new
oe, and the old "wesnoth" is a sub wvga version, which is dropped
upstream.
* xfce46-image,xfce-image there is an xfce image in angstrom in the
newer oe.
Denis.
