After seeing the lmsensors thread float by I thought it about time I started
the discussion on how people manage to avoid re-inventing recipes, and to
get the ball rolling, I thought I would describe mine.
As I do not have the any idea what recipes may be kicking about, I devised
what I call the meta-bucket approach. It is pretty simple, I have a script
that clones every existing OE/Yocto repository I know about into one easily
grep-able place[1].
The to the main question, how are others managing this?
I clone the layer repositories most likely to hold new recipes and then use
some scripts I wrote to process them into a list of recipes that can be easily
searched using grep. I wouldn't mind sharing those scripts if some people
would find them useful.
However, what I hope we can do in the 1.4 timeframe would be to implement my
proposal here:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3272
This would provide us with a way to search all published layers down to the
recipe level from the web.
This is an excellent idea!
