[PATCH 0/1] mtools: add glibc-gconv-* to RDEPENDS/RRECOMMENDS

[xin.ouyang]

From: Xin Ouyang <Xin.Ouyang@windriver.com>

[YOCTO #2829] 

mtools commands use cp850 as the "mtools_default_codepage", they would
use this to do some coverting tasks. 

So, add glibc-gconv-ibm850 to RDEPENDS for mtools commands to run 
correctly.




The following changes since commit 0ffb02eec2beaea27ff0ec9d3d31b0a09e675a4c:

Package recipes change proposal (system-wide) - name wise

[Iorga, Cristian]

Hello all,

For me, having the version number contained in the name of package recipe is a little bit puzzling.
For example: libpcre/libpcre_8.31.bb

Is there a solid technical reason to not have it like this?

libpcre/libpcre.bb
and inside the recipe to have a PV variable defined:
PV="8.31"

In that case, the upgrade/update process would not involve performing a "git move" operation.
In my opinion, this "git move" operation is something to be avoided, as it puzzles a little bit the versioning system and complicates the review process.

Of course, some changes in the bitbake system would be involved, but I guess would not be too complicated.
Also, there will be a volume of work to be performed for changing the name of recipes and adding the PV variable inside the recipe.
But I guess that a script could solve that, followed by some manual review.

Waiting for some feedback.

Thanks,
Cristian

The benefit of having PV in the recipe file name is that you can then easily 
have different recipes for different versions of the same piece of software, 
which is particularly useful when those different versions may need to be built 
slightly differently.

It's worth noting that that can still be done by leveraging
BBVERSIONS. Not that I'm advocating that approach necessarily, but
noting that it can still be done without using multiple recipes with
version in the filename.

That will make mtools unbuildable for non-glibc configurations.  Is this
intended?

FWIW, you can do that and it will just work, even today. Its just not
the convention we've "grown up" with.

The original idea was that updating to new versions was easy, it was a
mv operation. The checksums have of course complicated this idea but the
principle still applies. It also lets you see versions without having to
view the files themselves which I know I personally find very useful.

Also, as others have mentioned, git can detect move operations if you
tell it to.

Cheers,

Richard

And an example would be the three linux-yocto kernel versions. We'd have
to break them out into separate layers if the version wasn't in the filename.

That being said, the linux-yocto-dev recipe doesn't have a version in it's name
for the same reason, it's simpler to keep it moving forward constantly without
the version in the name.

.. just chiming in from the kernel point of view :)

Bruce

FYI the create-pull-request script passes -M40 to git format-patch,
which tells git to:

"should consider a delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 40% of
the file hasn’t changed."

Though with the size of some recipes perhaps the -M value should be
increased, or not passed at all?

No, the -M option shouldn't be removed. Why would you like to increase the percentage needed to handle a delete/add pair as a rename? Rather, it could very well be lowered even more, though the current 40% might be a good compromise.

Detecting a delete/add pair as a rename operation with some further modifications of the recipe does make reviewing the upgrade patches a lot easier...

Anders

Right, Anders submitted the -M40 change deliberately:

This was introduced as:

commit c8294d1e6da20f82d444a9d866bf5444a002dc5c
Author: Anders Darander <anders@chargestorm.se>
Date:   Tue Aug 16 15:41:34 2011 +0200

    create-pull-request: increase likelihood of detecting a rename

    Decrease the similarity percentage needed to recognize a
delete/add-pair follow
    as a rename.
    This make reviewing patches easier.

This hasn't been an issue for me, but I could see that with some of the
minimal recipes that this could trigger some false renames. Still, I
don't see it as a problem.
