I think the problem is we still don't have a good home for perl recipes not needed by anything in OE-Core but that are still useful. I am aware that a community member is working on a large number of perl recipes for CPAN modules (Stygia on IRC) but I'm not sure what the current status of that work is. > My real problem is not that particular module it's that > 1) I don't know a good way to find out if all those modules that I need > haven't already been packaged up by someone somewhere. The best way we have for finding these is the recipe search function in the OE layer index: http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipes/ > 2) I'm not certain that writing a separate recipe for each and every one of > those little modules is the correct way to go about getting them all if > they aren't already available somewhere. This is the convention we have established. Hopefully with what's in OE-Core, meta-security and what's coming in the new layer I referred to above we'll on our way to a sizable portion of the packages available. It might be worth pinging Stygia to find out how work is going on that layer. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
