This set has a companion set on oe-core, neither set makes much sense
without the other. Cover letters are identical. Please CC both lists
if needed.
Current state:
* meta-oe and oe-core both provide xserver-nodm-init: the oe-core
version should already do everything the meta-oe version does, but
the meta-oe version gets selected by default because of layer
priority.
* meta-oe and oe-core provide xserver-common and x11-common:
x11-common files are essentially a subset of xserver-common files.
Goals:
* Adding meta-oe to bblayers alone should not modify X initialization
* meta-oe and oe-core should not duplicate content without reason
* xserver startup should still be modifiable from other layers
(just not implicitly)
What was done to achieve those goals:
* (oe-core) Removed old cruft from x11-common. What was left is
Xsession and a few Xsession scripts.
* (oe-core) Merged what's left of x11-common into xserver-nodm-init
* (meta-oe) Removed xserver-nodm-init-2.0 as unneeded
* (meta-oe) No longer install files in xserver-common that oe-core
xserver-nodm-init installs
xserver-common now has to be explicitly installed if it is wanted.
There are multiple ways to solve these issues: I'm prepared to try
alternative approaches if needed. Testing results are appreciated
as well.
Cheers,
Jussi
