There is no LAYERVERSION and LAYERDEPENDS for most meta-FOO layers

There is no LAYERVERSION and LAYERDEPENDS for most meta-FOO layers

[Huang, Jie (Jackie)]

Hi, 

I know LAYERVERSION is optional but I think LAYERDEPENDS is required and at least we should specify the main oe-core,
but I found only meta-networking and meta-webser have this:

$ grep -r LAYERDEPENDS *
meta-networking/conf/layer.conf:LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "core"
meta-networking/conf/layer.conf:LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "openembedded-layer"
meta-networking/conf/layer.conf:LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "meta-python"
meta-webserver/conf/layer.conf:LAYERDEPENDS_webserver = "core"
$ grep -r LAYERVERSION *
meta-networking/conf/layer.conf:LAYERVERSION_networking-layer = "1"
meta-webserver/conf/layer.conf:LAYERVERSION_webserver = "1"

I found dependencies section in README for most of the meta-FOO layers, but no definition of LAYERDEPENDS in the layer.conf.

Thanks,
Jackie

And reading this:

LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "core"
LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "openembedded-layer"
LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer = "meta-python"

makes me wonder whether:
- The author forgot to use "+=" instead of "="; or
- The syntax of LAYERDEPENDS is different from what the rest of the variables 
use (in that case, an RFC may be in order here); or
- These lines are parsed by something else than bitbake's regular parser.

I wondered that too.

% bitbake -e | grep LAYERDEPENDS_networking
# $LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer [3 operations]
LAYERDEPENDS_networking-layer="meta-python"

That answers that, then.  Guess I'll go fix that up.  :-)

Thanks, Joe.

But for other layers, I think we should add for them, right? 

Thanks,
Jackie

Hey Jackie,

Feel free to submit patches.  The layers where I'm a maintainer already
have 'em and I can't speak for anyone else.  :-)
