A machine feature "vfat" sounds strange. I think machine features
should be about the hardware capabilities. Unfortunately I don't have
a proposal for a good name, but I'd prefer something like "cardslot"
or some better generic term for SD/CF/MemoryStick/etc. capability.
Then the distro can decide whether that means to add vfat support or
ext2 or gnome-volume-manager or some fancy card formatting GUI app.

  Yep, with this common sense in mind I quickly replied to Rod that

  It's of course not about just name, but about feature processing
logic. Current COMBINED_FEATURES mechanism is at least very easy to
understand and provides great deal of detailed flexibility.

Combined or not, I think vfat has no place in the machine features list.
The same goes for ext2 IMHO, and having hdparm in task-base-ext2 is even worse.
Shouldn't there be a MACHINE_FEATURE hdd or ide/ata/pata/sata/scsi instead?
The problem is that there is no easy way to ask for "X in
MACHINE_FEATURE and Y in DISTRO_FEATURE". COMBINED_FEATURES obviously
only supports "X in both".

Good.

So now that we have the easy method implemented, let's strive for a correct one.
I'd say vfat as other file systems should be a distro-only feature,
cardslot (or "removablestorage") a machine-only one:

"vfat" in DISTRO_FEATURES and "cardslot" in MACHINE_FEATURES --> task-base-vfat
"ext2" in DISTRO_FEATURES and ("cardslot" in MACHINE_FEATURES or "hdd"
in MACHINE_FEATURES) --> task-base-ext2 (without the hdparm
dependency)
"hdd" in MACHINE_FEATURES --> hdparm
etc.

Philipp

  LOL. I did say I don't want to open up this Pandora box now ;-).
I'll leave this for you and Rod, he for example thinks that task-base
is in perfect shape ;-).

  Yeah! And we should add Prolog interpreter to do those inferences!
No, Prolog sucks, let's add Lisp. Let's do some AI in OE!

  Seriously, why don't we leave that for some new year and clean up
real dirtiness now and polish frontyard instead?

  And if you ask for discussion, then I hope idea behind the irony
above is clear: all that would add entities without real necessity and
our ability to handle them. What was the aim of task-base
introduction? To build images both full-featured and efficient in
terms size. Does this work? Yes, and as pointed out by Koen, we actually
should start to look for bigger inefficiencies as the image content
list is already not too bad.

I agree that this is not something for the RC phase.
I'm just voicing my concern, seeing stuff creeping into the
MACHINE_FEATURE list that I believe doesn't belong there.

Unnecessary.

Yay hyperbole. Have a look at the __anonymous function in task-base.bb
and tell me again that there is no use for boolean logic here :)

It is not my intention to stop anyone from polishing!

My concern is not about image size, but about watering down the
meaning of those variables.
Already now fic-gta01.conf adds the vfat and ext2 kernel modules to
MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS
manually, maybe because it doesn't need hdparm. And I bet there is
more duplication like that.

  No, they're there because it's typical vendor-maintained machine.
And vendors usually care to get there stuff done quickly, not
correctly or beautifully, and possibly have their weird ideas/requirements
how stuff should be done. (And we know how it ends - following this
special-attention phase, one sweet day vendor moves to another toy,
and dumps previous one completely, for user community to cleanup all
that "speciality").

  So well, given speciality of OpenMoko itself, I don't dare to commit
changes to their machine configs, but intend to prepare patches with
extra care and submit for Graeme's review.

I agree with the principle.  We also need to add 'usbhost' to the list
of machine features which can enable the ext2 and vfat distro features
(for usb flash sticks on devices with usb host ports).

And of course we need to work out the best way (and appropriate timing)
for implementation. :-)

Marcin, Koen, Richard: Do you guys have an opinion on this
machine/distro features independent naming and combinations of different
names feeding into combined features?  We need agreement on the
principle before getting too far into implementation discussion.

My opinion is that 'DISTRO_*' is a misnomer since it essentially decides
what gets into an image. But it works on a 'global' task-base, so it
isn't IMAGE_* either. Maybe we should have a look at what Steve Sakoman
cooked up for the gumstix people.

  But the content of the image is one of the most important aspect of
the distro! Actually, a distro in OE is nothing but a name associated
with a set of specific packages with specific versions, with the name
being patched in some packages. So, how "DISTRO_FEATURES" can be a
misnomer?
