The previous consensus to that proposal was "we should be able to do cleanups in-place". I still think we should start such a branch where we can do the clean up while retaining the history. Those cleanups would consist of: a) basic janitorial stuff: * running the recipe through oe-stylize.py and fix accordingly * document patches (origin, upstream status, etc) * restucrure FILESDIR to avoid duplicate files (e.g. files/foo.patch bar-1.0/foo.patch, etc) b) updating to OE standards * Replace custom methods with standards ones where appropriate (e.g. do_stage() -> autotools_stage_all * document remaining custom methods (e.g. do_configure_append sed magic) * sanitize PACKAGES and FILES * sanitize overrides (e.g. fix all the CONFFILES_nylon stuff) c) unit testing * compile for different archs * run through insane Regardless if we create a branch for that or not, we should declare a freeze for e.g. 3 months where only bugfixes and cleanups are allowed to be checked in. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHy/NCMkyGM64RGpERAkjlAJ9GgDhax6XcSE0kQja3za3fxK8e6wCZAdba 6G2Uq14grE9WgmwjTfjqGMs= =vD/7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
