It seems to be on a technical level we are agreed that we should split parts of OE out into the so called openembedded-core which will have a stricter commit access and higher QA requirements on changes. I therefore think it is time to actually create the repository and let the people who are interested in merging the good stuff from poky with the good stuff from openembedded to create our "core". I don't think there is any need to wait on the political part of the Yocto/OE collaboration as its something we have agreed in principal to do anyway. I would request then that the TSC drive this forward with the server admins and create this repo so work can happen. Graeme ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Basically the minimal subset of OE that is still useful. meta-openembedded then builds on this to give the rest of OE that we see now.

Do we already have an idea what would be the starting base? And do we already have an idea on the QA requirements we want to impose on this? Lastly we might try to define some common understanding what is core and what not. I did some experiments with poky and found that some of the recipes I needed were missing; some of them might perhaps become part of core (e.g. i2ctools, squashfstools, libftdi, fastcgi), whereas others are quite unlikely to end up in core (e.g. urjtag).

Hopefully they shall give their opinions on the issue soon. I would say the obvious starting point is poky, then merge OE improvements into that. I think this would be less work than stripping down OE to core level. I think all the tools you have mentioned are bad examples of stuff to go into core except possibly squashfs. Core should be purely enough to get a busybox minimal image build in ext2/3/jffs/ubi given a machine.conf. Basically enough to do board bringup and no more (with package management capabilities). If core was recipes people "needed" it wouldnt really be core fastcgi is pretty specialised bit of software. Core should probably have a build bot which crunches a standard set of tests on each commit so unlike OE currently people don't wake up to bad day of debugging OE.

If core was recipes people "needed" it wouldnt > really be core fastcgi is pretty specialised bit of software. I'm not really sure what would go into core, but I kinda figured it would probably be something like poky/meta http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta The examples I gave are maybe not desirable in a minimal setting. Then again I feel core should probably be a little bit more than board bringup + busybox. I would hope that recipes like perl and python become part of core. Then again if oe core is similar to poky/meta the things I mentioned might fit in better than say libid3tag. If oe core is what is now in poky/recipes-core then I fully agree that the things I mention do not belong there (but probably glib-2.0 does not belong in a minimal layer either). http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-core But I had the impression that most of the poky recipes should go into oe-core (or I misunderstood that part of Richard's email). It does not seem too wise to have two repo's with e.g. pango, zeroconf and matchbox. > > Core should probably have a build bot which crunches a standard set of > tests on each commit so unlike OE currently people don't wake up to bad > day of debugging OE. I'm not sure if that is needed (at least not on for every commit). If we are aiming for a pull model, the maintainer(s) are the only ones that can push and I would expect them to build things (maybe using a buildbot to cover different architectures) before pushing.

But in my opinion we should start a poll to decide the commit model for core. Afterwards if we agree that a pull based model is well suited for core we should do another poll to decide who will be the "king". We should also have some rules for how to change the king. Also the king should only rule for a limited time. After this time period there should be another poll. In my opinion this will help people to accept what the king decides. We also need rules for rejects of pull requests. They should have a technical reason. The king should also be responsible for security issues. If I got it right yocto has full-time developers so one should do full-time security stuff for core. I know we have the TSC but a poll does not hurt. I belief that most developers will agree with the pull based model. best regards Bernhard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

I would personally like to see yocto use upstream bitbake with git submodules or similar, rather than maintaining its own bitbake directory. I'd also like to see the bitbake sync completed, but it seems like it's a low priority for Richard at this time.

I don't consider it a low priority and fully agree it needs to be fixed, there needs to be no delta. I doubt I'd go for submodules but making it match 1:1 commits with upstream bitbake is the intent and to script it. The Yocto development window is closing which has influenced my priority list. I'm also very conscious that we want to sort out a number of the fetcher problems and we're not there with that yet so I'm having to make some difficult choices over what I work on and in what order. On the plus side two features have just landed in Poky/Yocto: * Improved toolchain bootstrap process (no file overwriting) * A sysroot per machine which are both things we've wanted in OE for years and help in various ways (e.g. making sstate/pstage easier and reliable). We also merged libtool 2.4 and found a security hole that OE hadn't spotted. Those problems have been reported to libtool upstream.

Sounds like a reasonable plan but see my comments at the start. The time is right to change around the code in poky to make some of the steps easier though and I'm happy to take patches for that now (I'm going to start looking at those changes myself too). This would feed directly into making the above easier. Cheers, Richard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Tom can create the git repo, Khem can do patchwork and I can create new a ml.

I think it's safe to assume that the people interesting in working on this are already subscribed to the poky@yocto list, but we should cross-post to the oe-core list when that goes live as well. >> * start merging in OE things >> o e.g. OE gcc 4.5, toolchains for avr32, bfin, etc > > Last time I talked to Khem the OE gcc 4.5 toolchain didn't boot under > Poky's qemu.

If there are people willing to keep an architecture building and booting it should live in the core layer. But a might-or-might-not-work layer where architectures can migrate to and from would be an option. Both core and might-or-might-not-work layer could live in the oe-core git repo. >> * switch meta-oe to build on top of oe-core, fix issues >> >> When that is done meta-oe can start to expand. >> >> The non-technical roadmap/todo: >> >> * Assign 2 gatekeepers to oe-core, one from yocto, one from OE > >>From the Yocto side, Saul Wold is the person here.

With my armv7a hat on, the yocto one has bugs that are solved in the OE one, but it could be the reverse for other architectures. A technical pro of the OE version is that the patches are split up and labeled, as well as clearly showing the gcc mainline patches(srcrev of 4.5 stable branch) instead 4.5.1 tarball and a handfull of backports. The other differences like the fedoro DSO patch shouldn't matter, those can be rediffed against the OE one. >> * Work out OE roadmap and align with yocto >> >> The above tries to restrict itself to dealing with the new oe-core, not >> with how OE is going to split into layers (meta-oe, meta-graveyard, etc). >> It also ignores the maintainer aspects since we will be dealing with >> yocto metadata at the start.

I've kept a low profile on this issue since I'm obviously heavily involved with Yocto and hence it could be argued I'm not impartial. I had hoped someone else on the TSC would therefore pick up this discussion but that hasn't happened. I have driven issues in the past, this is one I really can't drive alone. The TSC have been having trouble managing to organise meetings, organising minutes and have not been very responsive recently. There are a whole spectrum of reasons for that but at a time when OE really needs technical guidance this is a problem. The message here isn't to the oe-members list in the correct form so this isn't an official vote at this time but if it were, I think I'd find myself in the unusual position of voting in favour of a vote of no confidence for a group I'm actually part of :/. I'd actually like to see people with the technical understanding and time to spend help guiding OE such Koen and Khem on the TSC.
