Note that gcc 9 does *not* remove non-thumb armv4 support. Non-thumb armv5/armv5e have been removed due to "have no known implementations". Non-thumb armv4 support was deprecated in gcc 6 together wit

"all the limited busybox commands would be replaced" would be a huge list from dc through gawk, minicom and wget to vim. And would vim-tiny qualify as "the full featured command" of busybox vi, or sho

I do not think a core-only packagegroup makes sense when the goal is to completely replace busybox (and not just most apps while keeping a few busybox apps installed). The stated usecases are not "lea

This looks wrong for multiple reasons, and it still gave the same error when I tried it. How has this change been tested? cu Adrian

Try building the package without nss but with cyrpto (sic) in PACKAGECONFIG. This is not about automating testing. This is about first reproducing the problem you are trying to fix, and then verifying

Adding a quick hack for interaction problems between two packages that are both in meta-openembedded by adding a .bbappend in meta-security creates a technical debt while not even helping users who ar

Why is this required? And the way this commit mixes unrelated changes, it is no even clear whether this is for the new upstream version or supposed to fix some older issue. cu Adrian

This and some of the other touched options are removed in kernel 5.1, replaced with a different CONFIG_LSM mechanism. cu Adrian

The kernel does not have "upgrade foo to the latest upstream version" commits. With the Automatic Upgrade Helper this is a semi-automatic task, and most of the time there is no specific motivation oth

That would be more trivial than useful. And so far noone has stated any actual problem that would be solved by adding such a new requirement. cu Adrian

In master this has already been workarounded with --disable-dnmalloc. cu Adrian

Adding a distro feature for a leaf package is wrong. cu Adrian

This has nothing to do with naming. It is about getting rid of workarounds by fixing the root cause, instead of adding more and more layers of workarounds. A DISTRO_FEATURE is for cases where PACKAGEC
