Re: [LEDE-DEV] Layerscape package depending on libxml2
Hi, the mentioned PR included a few new packages. I don't know the layerscape platform, so I just want to understand it: these packages are all necessary to boot a "reasonable" system? And this is true for fmc, too? [Y.b. Lu] fmc is an important userspace tool for layerscape which is frequently used and required by our key customers. my point is more whether it is absolutely not possible to boot up a layerscape system without these tools/packages? Or to bring a somewhat constructed use-case: PHP7 is frequently used and required by most of my customers - however, this does not justify to move PHP7 to core openwrt. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a core developer and this are just a few thoughts... Michael Fmc build and usage depends on several packages. They are tclap, fmlib, and eth-config which I added in the PR. Both fmlib and eth-config are only for layerscape. Then one option would be to move libxml2 to "core openwrt". If not, it would be an alternative approach to move the not really important packages to packages feed, and add the fmc package in the packages feed as well. This way, the dependency to libxml2 is solved automatically and the "core openwrt" stays as small as reasonable. Or should we avoid packages in the package feed which have a strong platform dependency? [Y.b. Lu] Thanks a lot for your good suggestion. Actually I tend to move libxml2 to core openwrt. ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev

Re: [LEDE-DEV] Layerscape package depending on libxml2
Hi, the mentioned PR included a few new packages. I don't know the layerscape platform, so I just want to understand it: these packages are all necessary to boot a "reasonable" system? And this is true for fmc, too? Then one option would be to move libxml2 to "core openwrt". If not, it would be an alternative approach to move the not really important packages to packages feed, and add the fmc package in the packages feed as well. This way, the dependency to libxml2 is solved automatically and the "core openwrt" stays as small as reasonable. Or should we avoid packages in the package feed which have a strong platform dependency? Just a few thoughts of mine, Michael Am Dienstag, 8. Mai 2018, 08:44:27 CEST schrieb Y.b.

[LEDE-DEV] Layerscape package depending on libxml2
Hi John and Hauke, May I have your suggestion about an old problem? The pull request was merged leaving out fmc package. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/724 I'd like to add this package fmc (frame manager configuration) for layerscape. However it depends on libxml2 package which is not in the base feed. Must install feeds to enable and build it. So I think I need some suggestion to find out a proper way to add this package. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Yangbo Lu ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
