[OE-core] [PATCH 0/5] Add 'iw' recipe and include in packagegroup-base

[Christopher Larson]

From: Christopher Larson <chris_larson at mentor.com>

iw uses cfg80211/nl80211, which is the way of the future. wireless-tools uses
WEXT, which uses ioctl, which is in deep maintenance mode. See
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/Wireless-Extensions.
Also https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw indicates "The
old tool iwconfing, which uses Wireless Extensions interface, is deprecated
and it's strongly recommended to switch to iw and nl80211."

See also the mailing list thread '[OE-core] iw in place of wireless-tools'.

The following changes since commit f07045fcae859c902434062d1725f1348f42d1dd:

  oeqa/oetest.py: add better package search for hasPackage() (2015-08-26 08:26:37 +0100)

Christopher Larson (5):
  iw: add recipe from meta-networking
  iw: inherit pkgconfig
  iw: obey our target path variables
  iw: support and enable separate build dir
  packagegroup-base: pull in iw as well as wireless-tools
