Hi Philip, Yes. What you said. Some comments:

As a "maintainer" (ha!) of meta-guacamayo I can take a look at this but I'm fairly busy at the moment so this may take a while. In an attempt to balance karma, I have submitted several new recipes that were in meta-guacamayo and needed elsewhere to meta-multimedia in the last week. :) > 2) people feel they have to remove recipes from layers and make local > copies. > Making local copies if fine if required, but I agree that there's bound to be a high number of recipes which are forked because that was easier than writing a bbappend, and the reason for this fork was needed is never resolved in the original layer. Looking over the duplicate list, there's some obvious low-hanging fruit. Angstrom duplicates recipes that are in meta-multimedia. meta-webos and meta-webos-ports seem to be full of duplicates. meta-guacamayo has some recipes that were version bumps two years ago when oe-core was frozen. The dpdk duplicates are a bug in the tool with regards to sub-layers. It's a shame that we can't make this some form of offense. Maybe we should spend some time researching https://nctritech.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/tcpip_punch1.jpg? Ross
