[PATCH 0/3] util-linux: split out libuuid and libblkid

[Paul Eggleton]

Split libuuid and libblkid from util-linux into separate runtime packages.
Slightly reduces the overall footprint of other packages that depend on these 
libraries.

[PATCH 1/3] util-linux: split out libuuid and libblkid into separate packages

[Paul Eggleton]

libuuid and libblkid can exist on their own separately from the rest
of util-linux. Slightly reduces the overall footprint of other packages
that depend on these libraries.

Is this different than the work that Qing submitted last night?  Are you 
both addressing the same bug #661?

This fix seems different than his, we need to make sure we are better 
coordinated

The util-linux-ng components are licensed GPLv3, so they could be alternatives,
but we need a GPLv2 version of the components for some systems.

Didn't the fork for this end in December ? I recall reading it on lkml before
the holidays. Or maybe I'm thinking about the wrong thing, but if I'm not
maybe the question is: 'have we considered updating to the unified util-linux' ?

Cheers,

util-linux *is* util-linux-ng :/

We probably should rename the recipe to be more clear about this...

According to the license headers, only lscpu is GPLv3 and since we
package that separately from everything else and clearly identify its
license, we are currently using util-linux-ng for this purpose as things
stand.

Ok good then, for some reason I thought various utilities have been moved to
GPLv3 (other then lscpu).. I must have been mistaken.

(and yes I agree changing the name would be a good idea, matching upstream
naming makes it much less confusing.)

My comments apply to the 2.17 version we're using. We'll need to check
when upgrading there aren't any new v3 issues.

Since for 2.19, they've become the same project again, I'd suggest we
not bother renaming and just update :).

Cheers,

Yes, this is a lesson for me to check bugzilla and pay closer attention 
patches that are being posted - my apologies. FYI I was responding to a 
request from Richard on IRC rather than the bug report.

Qing's patch is slightly better than mine in that it splits the dev packages 
out as well; on the other hand it names the packages libuuid and libblkid 
rather than util-linux-libblkid and util-linux-libuuid. Personally it doesn't 
bother me, but having the prefix there does at least make it easy to determine 
the source recipe from the package name.

I think we do also need to bump PR on all packages that depend on these 
libraries (the other patches from my patchset) so that package dependencies 
get corrected automatically.

Qing, would you mind integrating these changes into your branch and reposting? 
(assuming we want the util-linux- package name prefix?)

Cheers,
Paul

It's no big deal, there are lots of messages on the list and it's pretty
normal to miss some of them. I did not see your discussion on IRC,
otherwise I would have give you guys updates.

Personally I'm OK with both naming, I just happened to use lib* for brevity.

Yes. This is reasonable.

However, I have some concerns on other similar issues. This specific
problem (bumping PR for dependency changes) was brought out earlier but
seems quite difficult to maintain the package revisions consistently.
Every repackaging or major API change (or even some bbclass change) is
likely to need an adjustment of the packages that depend on it. Given
that some of these are low level libraries that are widely linked, it's
not easy to maintain the correctness of PR of impacted packages.

My understanding is that, previously, usually PR is only changed when
there is explicit modification to the .bb file, those implicit changes
are largely ignored. Smooth upgrading of the binary packages in the
target is only a goal that we all want, but is expected to have some
problems?

Ok, I'll get the patches updated. Together with the other patches in
your patch set.

Saul, please also hold the other patch in my patch set regarding
util-linux dangling link as well, I'll resend it in the new set.

Thanks,
Qing

Koen,
	It's already util-linux-ng, the original util-linux stalled at
2.13~pre7, and now util-linux-ng is renamed back to util-linux. You can
see that util-linux and util-linux-ng directories are identical on
kernel.org

Thanks,
Qing

This reminds me to do some additional check when upgrading util-linux. I
was about to upgrade recently, and didn't think about this much.
