I have to say, I still can't support having this in oe-core. Providing alternatives to GPLv3 software is fine, but not when the 'alternative' is a very old, unsupported version of the same software, which inevitably brings issues in functionality and maintenance. But if Ross and/or Richard disagree, then I'll have to accept it. > +Upstream-Status: Pending "Inappropriate" is a better reason here, with clarification that the patches are to make an old version work and upstream won't be interested in them. > +do_install_append() { > + /bin/rm -rf ${D}/${libdir}/*.la > + /bin/rm -rf ${D}/usr/share/info/dir > + /bin/rm -fr ${D}/usr/bin > +} What are you deleting here and why?
