Introduction
This page lists the changes/features that are available in OE and should be imported into oe-core
Toolchains(gcc/binutils/eglibc/uclibc)
OE toolchain is different and covers more architecture and has more set of patches e.g. Linaro patchset on top and track the gcc-4_5-branch on regular bases.
eglibc also tracks the svn of the release branch and has config'able feature
uclibc from OE supports NPTL and is well tested on many distributions.
Gettext
OE has support for gettext 0.18
Quilt
Quilt in OE can symlink patches into the WORKDIR saves some space and time. With sstate in oe-core it may have to be seen if this feature will benefit OE core
Busybox
OE busybox is 1.18.x and stable needs to go into OE core
Classes and the OE python package
- OE's implementation of IMAGE_FEATURES aka oe.packagegroup/oe.packagedata, rather than poky's (discuss with poky folk)
- Variable Typing support
- Tom Rini's perl-native changes
- Sync up the small changes to existing python modules (oe.utils, oe.path, etc)
- Bring over oe.process? What's the minimum bitbake version required by oe-core, versus that of OpenEmbedded? Has this been decided? If we want to support multiple versions, we may want oe.process for the versions which don't have bb.process, and just wrap bb.process for the versions which do.
