-
Adjust the hardcoded licenses based on version, for now. Better would be if the external toolchain provided license data.
-
Handle relocating debug files based on PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE, in a general way, as a better way to handle 6d62e6f. Possibly do a regex search/replace:
If debug-file-directory: (.*)/\.debug/([^/]*)\.debug|${libdir}/debug/\1/\2.debug (.*)/\.debug/([^/]*)|${libdir}/debug/\1/\2.debug Else: ${libdir}/debug/(.*)/([^/]*\.debug)|\1/.debug/\2
-
Fix extraction of patterns like
${libdir}/locale/*/*/libc.mo
(glibc) and${libdir}/gcc/*/*/include/omp.h
(libgomp). -
Improvements above and beyond the existing previous features of the layer
-
Attempt to determine the available locales for locale generation/packaging dynamically based on what's available in the sysroot.
-
Don't use cp -a (we don't want the permissions/ownership from the external toolchain to leak onto our target)
-
Think about using cpio instead of cp
-
Think about hard linking if possible instead of copying, as long as do_package doesn't modify files in place, rather than unlinking/creating.
-
Improve separation between sourcery and general external bits
-
Refactor and enhance to be able to use this sysroot extraction code to be able to support a true native MACHINE, bypassing cross-compilation entirely.
-
Re-examine oe-core metadata for our extraction recipes to see if anything can be reused (e.g. in libgcc, gcc-runtime)
-
Re-review the Wind River toolchain layers for useful bits
-
Add hooks to be able to handle multilib configurations stored in cpio archives rather than directly on disk. This will include:
- a hook for the search process so we can examine the contents of the archives instead of on-disk
- a hook for the copy process so we can extract instead of copying
-
Add minimum gcc version requirement (>=4.3) due to requirement for -print-sysroot/--sysroot=.
-
Test minimum gcc/glibc versions to actually complete a build.
-
Consider reworking external_toolchain_do_install in shell. This would need performance testing.
-
Consider reverting the split out of linux-libc-headers-external, as we don't want to encourage folks to provide their own -- there are better mechanisms.
