[RFT] Moving on from eglibc to glibc 2.20

[RFT] Moving on from eglibc to glibc 2.20

[Khem Raj]

Hi All

As we all know eglibc has been merged back into glibc and 2.19 was the
last release, here I have put together the recipes for upcoming glibc
2.20 release and removed eglibc 2.19 in favor of move.

I also thought about leaving eglibc in there but then eglibc and glibc
were pretty much same as they always have been that it would be an
incremental change with lot more patches this time.

The tree is here

http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=kraj/eglibc-to-glibc-2.20

This has not recieved much testing yet and I am looking out for helping
hands here, so try it out in your buid environments and machines of
interest and report back on issues.

The patches also forward port the options group support and few other
patches from eglibc, details are in commit logs, which I think would make 
good candidates for future glibc merge.

This tree will be reworked and rebased so sync back if you see issues
which we will address here

Thanks for your help

Thanks for doing this Khem, its quite some work and much appreciated!

Just to be clear, what is the intent here? Is it intended to get this
into 1.7 or is this 1.8 material at this point? We're effectively past
the toolchain freeze point for 1.7, just about at complete feature
freeze but I'd like to make sure we're thinking the same things.

I'm certainly happy to get this through the autobuilder and see what
happens...

Cheers,

Richard

I am targetting for 1.7 thats why call for wider testing to expedite.  but it could only be decided with some level of
testing. I havent done enough of testing yet myself it to be sure but in coming few days, it
will be lot clear

But if it turns into major issues then we can wait for 1.8 but it will
be quite an effort to keep up with these patches over a long period of time.

The one I've seen so far looks like a patch wasn't updated:

We're also seeing:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/build-appliance/builds/15/steps/BuildImages_1/logs/stdio

which turns out to be triggered by the libc change (I confirmed on a
local build). I haven't looked into why. There is also a similar issue
from the synaptics driver.

Cheers,

Richard

Thanks. I'm having one heck of a problem unentangling all the different
build failures (from these and other patches) but this one looks like
glibc:

Trying to reproduce it locally. Once I have, I will update.

I have fixed this too and pushed the updates to same pull tree.
Please give it another whirl

xf86-video-imxfb has the same issue and will need the same fix. Otavio

Is it possible to add an RREPLACES to these recipes so there's a clean
upgrade path from eglibc?

Also, meta-fsl-ppc fails:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-fsl-ppc/builds/17/steps/BuildImages/logs/stdio

with a do_compile glibc failure.

I have fixed this. The patchset is updated on the contrib tree.
