Hello,
I'd like to again restart the patchwork cleanup effort. There are
numerous patches in patchwork that I'm not sure what we want to do
with.
Here is a list of 10 patches that we need to take a decision on. If no
decision is taken in the next 2 weeks, I'll mark them as Rejected.
* avahi: link with libintl if libglib2 is enabled
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/683732/
My plan is to enable the stub libintl in uClibc-ng and stop having
all those linking issues with libintl from gettext. The only
drawback would be that there would no longer be "translation"
support with uClibc: the libintl implementation in uClibc-ng is
really just a stub.
Thoughts ?
* qemu: allow to build statically
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/692667/
We normally don't want to have special options for each package to
build them statically. Should we make an exception for Qemu?
* infra: fix 'packages-file-list.txt' with TLP
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/694519/
Adds a lock around the installation step of packages, to make
top-level parallel build still generate a correct list of files per
package.
Gustavo, what is your plan regarding this?
Others: should we merge this?
* e2fsprogs: keep util-linux's fsck if chosen
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/696634/
This fixes a real bug, but even Maxime who submitted the patch is
not too happy with the proposal. Could someone look into this?
* linux-headers: Account for LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/713927/
I think I am against this patch, because if the user sets
LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR, then suddenly he will see his kernel headers
being rebuilt as well.
Arnout ?
* python-lxml: allow build as host package
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/722644/
Host package not used anywhere. Discussed at length during the
previous BR meeting. What do we do?
* fakedate: simplify logic
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/725396/
* linux-tools/perf: fix build for MIPS by using the right emulation on
LD
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/729154/
* package/pkg-download.mk: add gitlab helper
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/736382/
* linux: Add CIP SLTS easy selection option
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/736383/
Please help taking decisions about those patches.
Thanks!
Thomas
