Subject: [PATCH] gn: Add recipe
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 22:49:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250927054916.363249-1-raj.khem@gmail.com> (raw)
gn is a commonly used build tool to generate ninja files, used
in a lot of recipes e.g. chromium, qtwebengine, perfetto, hafnium etc.
these recipes come from different layers e.g. meta-qt6/meta-arm/meta-oe
since not all layers depend on meta-oe ( meta-arm does not ), its not
a possible option.
Given the usecases, putting it in core will benefit the ecosystem
and reduce some duplication. This recipe is taken from meta-arm
