I am currently working on this and want to get some feedback regarding the design, the below list of config files would move to one recipe in recipes-bsp, which will reduce the number of .bbappends that a BSP writer might need to create in order to customize the configuration of the BSP. Overall, my proposal is to move all the BSP related config files into one recipe directory tree. Create a recipe that can have a package or packages that are RRECOMMENDS on. We have 2 choices on the packaging side: 1) 1 Package to rule them all (conffiles) - RPROVIDES PN-conf - conffile.bbclass RRECOMMENDS = "${PN}-conf" # Can be overriden in recipe CONFFILES_conffiles ?= "${PN}.conf" - Will provide files not needed on final image, small amount of extra space used. 2) 1 package / conf file (${PN}-conf) - exactly what's needed will be installed - no needs for additional RPROVIDES - More packaging overhead, package data might be bigger than actual contents! Currently the list of recipes/config files affected include: meta/recipes-bsp/pointercal/pointercal/*/pointercal meta/recipes-bsp/formfactor/files/*/machconfig meta/recipes-bsp/alsa-state/alsa-state/asound.conf meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/*/xorg.conf meta/recipes-bsp/keymaps/files/keymap.sh meta/recipes-graphics/xinput-calibrator/pointercal-xinput/pointercal.xinput meta/recipes-graphics/tslib/tslib/ts.conf Possibly also: meta/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown-1.0 meta/recipes-connectivity/connman/connman-conf meta/recipes-connectivity/bluez5/bluez5/bluetooth.conf meta/recipes-bsp/apmd/apmd-3.2.2-14/apmd_proxy.conf Comment, thoughts, ...
