Re: [OE-core] [PATCH] dhcpcd: add recipe for dhcpcd

2015-12-22 Thread Karstens, Nate
Sounds good. I’ll resubmit to meta-networking. Once that goes through I’ll 
submit a patch to remove it from meta-alt-desktop-extras.

Thanks,

Nate

Definitely (2), oe-core needs *something* to provide DHCP functionality but 
meta-networking is the obvious fit for an alternative choice.

Re: [OE-core] [PATCH] dhcpcd: add recipe for dhcpcd

Thanks, Ross. There are currently two DHCP clients included in oe-core. The ISC 
DHCP client is in the dhcp recipe and udhcpc is included in busybox. There is 
also a very outdated recipe for dhcpcd in meta-alt-desktop-extras.

Based on this I can see two approaches: 1) locate all DHCP client recipes in 
the same layer because they all provide the same functionality or 2) include 
alternatives in other layers (which in this case really just means dhcpcd as 
the ISC DHCP client and busybox shouldn’t really be considered “alternatives”).

In either case it probably makes sense to remove the old recipe from 
meta-alt-desktop-extras.

Thoughts?

Nate

For new recipes to be added to oe-core there needs to be a good rationale.  It 
seems that this is very well suited for the meta-networking layer (part of 
meta-oe).
