This layer holds the Mentor Embedded Linux distro configuration and supplementary files, and acts as a staging area for changes which Mentor Graphics requires, but which have not yet been merged into the upstream layers.

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core Branch: master

URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-yocto Revision: master

Browse url: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mentor Clone url: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-mentor.git

To contribute to this layer you should submit the patches for review to the mailing list.

Mailing list: [email protected]

When sending single patches, please use something like 'git send-email -1 --to [email protected]'

When sending a series, please use poky/meta/scripts/create-pull-request (aka oe-core/scripts/create-pull-request).

• base-files: issue files

• netbase: adjusted default interfaces file

• psplash: mel splash image

• core-image-base: added package-management

• e2fsprogs: killed e2fsprogs compat dep on blkid/badblocks

• archive-release: used to archive up content for release

• other packagegroups

• cml1-merge class: old crude implementation of defconfig file snippets, ala *.cfg in kernel-yocto, but also useful in regular kernels, since the kernel-yocto bits aren't generally useful (yet)

• user_features class: easier user manipulation of DISTRO_FEATURES from local.conf

• buildstats-summary class: using buildstats, show a summary at the end of the build showing how many recipes ran do_populate_sysroot vs do_populate_sysroot_setscene

• deploy-license-manifest class: this is fairly self explanatory. it deploys the manifest generated by license.bbclass into DEPLOY_DIR via an IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND, and also runs a sed script which produces a CSV version of the manifest in DEPLOY_DIR

• kernel-lttng - automatically enable the kernel options needed to support lttng in any non-linux-yocto kernel

• mirrors class: a much simplified, compact version of the upstream default mirrors, without location-specific mirrors, and with more use of regex to reduce the number of entries

• sstate-mirror-sites class: provides a convenient mechanism to automatically check sstate mirrors in the default sstate extra path, specified fallback hosts for native recipes, and a flat layout. As one example, this means that a mirror can be populated with native sstate archives in a RedHatEnterprise-5 directory, and knowing we can run binaries from that host, it will check there on the mirror:

  SSTATE_MIRROR_DISTROS += "RedHatEnterprise-5"
  SSTATE_MIRROR_SITES += "file:///cache/sstate http://my.server/sstate-cache"
  

• isolated-sstate-dir class: link any used shared state archives into an isolated sstate directory, so we can distinguish between the contents of SSTATE_DIR and the sstate archives actually used for the build. This is needed by our release process.

• archive-release: this creates tarballs of the individual layers, downloads, shared state, images, etc for release or for inclusion in installers. this is used for Mentor Embedded Linux.
• chkconfig-alternatives - minimal target recipe, can be useful in a non-rpm environment if one wants to avoid cworth's update-alternatives
• binutils 2.17.50.0.12: originally from oe classic, pulled in for non-GPLv3 builds, so tools like oprofile and perf can be built and used
• lttng{0-ust,-control,-viewer}: recipes for lttng 0.x, for machines with old lttng 0.x patched kernels
• packagegroup-tools-benchmark: various benchmarking tools
• packagegroup-role-nas
• packagegroup-role-print-server
• packagegroup-role-router
• pyparted: this is currently unused by us, should be pushed to meta-oe
• udev 164: old udev for machines on old kernels

• classes
  • license-fixup.bbclass - this should go into license.bbclass. alters the manifest generation to always emit the licenses, even if they have no generic license files in DEPLOY_DIR/license
• avahi-ui:
  • use PACKAGECONFIG for python module support, inherit python classes. without these bits, it will happy mess with the build machine's python
  • package avahi_discover in PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR
• curl: allow selection of openssl vs gnutls
• gconf: inherit gettext
• gnome-disk-utility
  • add PACKAGECONFIG for the build of the nautilus extension
• gnutls: update ${S}/lib/po/Makefile.in.in
• linux-omap4
  • disable build of kernel samples for pandaboard
• newt - splits out python module into a separate recipe. allows one to include libnewt in an image without sucking python into the build
• packagegroup-base: include dosfstools in packagegroup-base-vfat
• packagegroup-core-qt: define LIC_FILES_CHKSUM for MIT
• packagegroup-core-ssh-openssh: define LIC_FILES_CHKSUM for MIT
• packagegroup-core-tools-profile:
  • fix inclusion of lttng bits for mips, now that liburcu has mips support
  • include lttng 0.x packages for machines on old kernels which are patched for lttng 0.x
• perf
• portmap:
  • obey our target paths (base_sbindir, mandir)
• samba
  • disable avahi support (build determinism issue)
  • without acl support (build determinism issue)
• subversion: switch to apache archive to avoid fetch issues
• wireless-tools
• wpa-supplicant: add variable to select gnutls vs openssl
• xz: adjusts license so it's clear GPLv3 files aren't shipped. upstream fixed this too, in a different way, but I think ours is superior, as it lets LICENSE reflect source licensing while the package licenses reflect what's shipped

All of these should be moved into meta-tracing:

• linux-imx
• linux-qoriq-sdk
• linux-omap4
• lttng-modules: a couple fixes, switch from 2.1.1 to 2.1.0 with intermediate commits from the master branch which incorporates additional probes

• shared-mime-info

• gettext
• libtool
• lttng2-ust
• openssh

These can be dropped as soon as the recipe PV is bumped, but are kept around for now to avoid the package versions going backwards.

• blktrace
• gdbm
• hostap
• imx-lib
• irda-utils
• packagegroup-core-device-devel
• perl
• python
• setserial
• wireless-tools

• busybox: dep on meta-oe's fbset-modes if CONFIG_FBSET=y
• binutils-libs, oprofile: add and use more minimal binutils recipe for oprofile. This recipe just builds libbfd and libiberty
• libffi: patches for mips o32/n32
• boot-format: use a different repo with additional files
• udev: retained 164 recipe for machines that still need it
