[OE-core] OE-Classic recipe migration status

Hi all,
Whilst the OE-Core-based layer landscape has grown quite a bit over the last
year and we now have a wealth of clean and up-to-date recipes, I've heard a
few people commenting that we've still lost quite a few recipes along the way.
Nobody who did make that comment has seemed to be able to be specific about
what they thought we were missing however, so I figured it would be worth
trying to determine exactly which recipes are only available in OE-Classic.
With the help of some scripts I've produced a list of the recipes, made some
notes and categorised some of them. I've published the list on the wiki
(unfortunately I had to split it into two pages since it was too large to put
into one):
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OE-Classic_Recipes_A-I
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OE-Classic_Recipes_J-Z
I don't know much about a lot of these recipes, so if you can help to fill in
the gaps particularly by marking the obsolete ones as such or adding other
comments, that would be great. Either edit the pages directly or make your
comments here and I'll merge them.
Using some more hacky scripts to break down the recipes into groups, I've
produced the following numbers (with the incomplete data as it stands):
1484 other
218 BSP
211 BugLabs
195 libs
193 obsolete
155 obsolete directory (OE-Classic)
136 PERL
119 python
92 distro
89 tasks
84 nonworking directory (OE-Classic)
80 GPE
79 X11 drivers
59 images
59 games
41 fonts
23 security
20 in another layer
18 pending
11 EFL
So clearly there are quite a few recipes left that could be brought back,
assuming there is demand; on the other hand there are a significant number that
can probably just be discarded. For those that are still of interest, we need
motivated individuals to do the migration and maintain the recipes going
forward.
Cheers,
Paul
