Richard,
I was reminded again about the need to do non-GPLv3 sooner and more
often. I ran that today for core-image-basic on x86 and found 3 issues,
first 2 were easy and will be in tonight's consolidated pull.
This issue again was with qemu-config dragging in GPLv3 licensed stuff
and thus not having dependencies met. I understand the need for those
packages in a development/debug environment, but we need a flexible way
to enable and disable that task.
I know the easy way would be to club it over the head and remove
qemu-config from qemu.inc's MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS, but that's
not the correct way!
We can make it be MACHINE_EXTRA_RDEPENDS or maybe more flexibly an
IMAGE_FEATURE that can be disabled for minimal or non-GPLv3 builds.
Thoughts?
Thanks
