Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] image_types_wic, wic-tools: drop the obsolete cross-binutils dependency
Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 22:09:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802021000.2886095-3-twoerner@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802021000.2886095-1-twoerner@gmail.com>
wic depends on virtual/cross-binutils because its EFI boot image plugin
once assembled unified kernel images and needed cross-objcopy for it.
That plugin no longer builds them: it refuses and points at
uki.bbclass, which declares virtual/cross-binutils itself.
No code wic runs invokes objcopy any more, so drop the dependency from
the two places still carrying it.
