where is the qtwebkit*bb recipe that is being appended to?

where is the qtwebkit*bb recipe that is being appended to?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  just noticed in this layer the bbappend file:

qt5-layer/recipes-qt/qt5/qtwebkit_%.bbappend

but where is the underlying recipe file that this is being appended
to? i don't see it in any other layer.

  never mind, it seems the underlying qt5 recipes are in the meta-qt5
layer, but that layer is not listed in layer.conf as a dependency of
meta-fsl-arm. should the qt5 bbappend files really be part of
meta-fsl-arm? it seems like they would more properly belong in
meta-fsl-arm-extra.

They should as these patches are BSP support patches. The bbappend
files are "enabled" when user adds the meta-qt5 in the layer
collection, dynamically.

  i think we're agreeing here -- my point is that there is no value to
the meta-fsl-arm layer containing .bbappend files for which there is
no *requirement* that there be the underlying .bb files that
correspond to them. so either the meta-fsl-arm layer should add a
LAYERDEPENDS entry for meta-qt5, or the qt5 stuff should be moved out
of meta-fsl-arm.

No; you are wrong here.

The meta-fsl-arm is intended to be the core BSP for every i.MX and ARM
based SoCs from Freescale. This includes in adding software specific
support when this is the case (as for example Qt5).

The way we designed /allows/ the use of Qt5 and the platform support
is dynamically included. What makes no sense is to include Qt5
dependency when just some people are going to use it.

So we give the good of both worlds. We support Qt5, Chromium, EFL, ...
without forcing all these layers to be enabled for every user or
unnecessary fragmentation.
