We've just tagged the release candidate for libgpiod v2. This is a major
release entirely overhauling the API in a backward incompatible way.
Thanks for creating this!
While this is not the final release yet, it's not likely to change much so
I'd like to make it available in meta-openembedded to give it exposure to
some testing. When we do release v2.0, it'll be just a matter of bumping the
version.
Currently no other package depends on libgpiod in meta-openembedded, so I'd
like to avoid having two packages (libgpiod and libgpiod2). Instead let's
provide recipes for both versions but keep them under the common libgpiod name
as it's unlikely anyone would need both versions in a single system. This is
after all a medium-sized project that shouldn't require too much work in order
to port a user to the new major release.
Nevertheless there may be packages in other layers using it (meta-acpi,
meta-intel-edison). I think there will be a period where both may need
to coexist.
Can those layers just set the PREFERRED_VERSION?
Yes, but it doesn't the problem when one app needs v1 and the other
needs v2.
