common-license.bbclass will set LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to a common license file based on LICENSE, which is appropriate for a case where we have no sources to refer to. external-toolchain.bbclass, among other things, handles extraction of files in the external toolchain sysroot, based on patterns in the FILES variables, checking alternate locations to better support any arbitrary toolchain, and has basic mirror handling for checking multiple paths within the sysroots. Under normal circumstances, I'd want this to use highly granular commits, but this branch has been extremely long lived (>1yr) and is such an invasive refactoring that attempting to break it down now would be of limited usefulness.

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.
