Subject: [oe-core][PATCHv14 1/6] emptty: add version 0.15.0
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:02:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129230210.2934333-2-rs@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129230210.2934333-1-rs@ti.com>

From: Randolph Sapp <rs@ti.com>

Add emptty, a "Dead simple CLI Display Manager on TTY". This is a
relatively lightweight display manager that supports x11 as well as
wayland through both a CLI and an automatic login mechanism.

This can effectively replace the custom init scripts for both x11
(xserver-nodm-init) and wayland (weston-init) with a single tool with
more verbose logging capabilities.

This is split into two recipes. The emptty package provides the binary
and various agnostic configs while the emptty-conf package provides the
default configuration for the application itself. This RPROVIDES
virtual-emptty-conf, allowing other recipes to provide their own
configurations to override the default behavior.
