[PATCH v3 1/2] gstreamer1.0-plugins-good: change EXTRA_OECONF -> EXTRA_OEMESON

[PATCH v3 1/2] gstreamer1.0-plugins-good: change EXTRA_OECONF -> EXTRA_OEMESON

[Anuj Mittal]

Use the correct variable so options actually get used and
use the correct qt option name to prevent errors.

[Anuj Mittal]

Instead of disabling unconditionally, add PACKAGECONFIG for
qt5. Imported from meta-qt5 layer.

Does it make oe-core depend on meta-qt5 layer?

What is the policy here for having inter-layer dependencies in DEPENDS vs. 
PACKAGECONFIG without explicitly listing them in LAYERDEPENDS?

We have a clear policy that listing such options is ok as long as its
not enabled by default.

This is good, thank you for confirming. Do you have a link where this is

Its come up many times over the years and we've been consistent about
it. I don't have a link but there has been mailing list discussion and
perhaps TSC discussion long ago, I simply don't remember. There are
many examples of that in OE-Core.

The alternative is forcing more into bbappends which doesn't seem to
gain anything (PACKAGECONFIG itself could be changed from distro config
for example).

Its also easy to catch bad defaults since the recipes would no longer
parse due to missing dependencies which we'd quickly spot.

Cheers,

Richard

Richard,

Yes, yes, I understanf all that from a technical perspective and agree with 
it, but I was thinking about a more clear definition of this policy to be able 
to point anyone having such questions in the future...

Sure, that sounds great. This doesn't happen without someone doing it
though.

I have not looked at the wiki to see if we did already document it. I
guess you already searched there before asking the question. If we
don't have a policy documented, you can edit the wiki and add something
?

BTW, I don't remember discussing this at YP TSC... Maybe OE TSC covered this 
in the past?

Metadata architecture decision would be the OE TSC and "TSC discussion
long ago" means something from several years ago.

Thought so - were there any meeting minutes from back then? Sorry for being so 
persistent, just trying to find some paper trail... :)

Yes, there is a record. You can find it quite easily. I don't need to
do this for you...

All I could find is OE TSC minutes from 7 May 2013 referring to some related 
list discussion:

https://lists.openembedded.org/g/tsc/message/369?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,PACKAGECONFIG,20,2,0,72188707

(9:47:21 AM) RP: bluelightning: I think this was to PACKAGECONFIG more recipes
(9:47:28 AM) bluelightning: ah ok
(9:47:36 AM) RP: bluelightning: remove the need to bbappend, have
people set mode config options
(9:47:51 AM) bluelightning: and PACKAGECONFIG to enable deps on things
outside OE-Core as well presumably
(9:48:01 AM) bluelightning: (as discussed on the ml a few weeks ago)
(9:48:06 AM) fray: yup

I spent last couple hours digging through my archives of openembedded-core and 
openembedded-devel lists around that time (Spring 2013), but besides general 
move to enable PACKAGECONFIG in recipes, I didn't see anything specific about 
crossing layer boundaries by PACKAGECONFIG dependencies, unfortunately. And it 
was a wild time - all the energy, extra activity, conflicts, flamewars - that 
definitely brought up some memories re-reading those discussions again... :)


BTW, all the links on this page are now dead, since they point to the old 
mailman/pipermail archives:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/TSC

Michael,

Is there any way to correct the links in bulk or preserve the old archives, so 
the old links would still work?

Well found. There is clearly more context behind that even back then.

:)

I'm sure this has been discussed, I just don't remember where/when
unfortunately.

I do believe the conclusion is right though and I believe there is
enough general acceptance we can document it as such. If anyone
objects, the TSC can discuss it but I'm not seeing that being requested
unless there is more context to this discussion than I'm seeing.

Cheers,

Richard

Richard,

So, the policy issue is all sorted out now...

But how one would use this change in a multi-machine distro, when some 
machines have graphics and want qt5+gl dependencies, while other machines 
have no graphics and cannot build qt5+gl. Is there a way to keep this 
package generic w/o making it machine-specific PACKAGE_ARCH=MACHINE_ARCH?

The distro could setup the package feeds so there was a package feed
with gl and a package feed without gl?

The tune files ultimately determine the default PACKAGE_ARCH but there
is nothing stopping the distro from changing that to gl and non-gl
variants...
