Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gptfdisk: remove recipe
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:36:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811153619.2048639-2-ross.burton@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811153619.2048639-1-ross.burton@arm.com>
There are no dependencies on this recipe in oe-core or meta-oe now, as
the standard fdisk command in util-linux has both a scriptable frontend
and supports GPT partition tables.
Also the last release was in 2024 and there's very little activity
upstream.
As such, remove the recipe.
