[meta-filesystems][PATCH 1/2] exfatprogs: add new recipe

[cvubrugier]

From: Christophe Vu-Brugier <christophe.vu-brugier@seagate.com>

exfatprogs provides utilities to create, modify, and check exFAT file
systems on Linux. The developers of exfatprogs also maintain the Linux
kernel exFAT driver.

exfatprogs has replaced exfat-utils in Debian bookworm.

Do we need
RPROVIDES:${PN} = "exfat-utils"
as well?

It used to be necessary for automatic update from one package to its
replacement at least with opkg (I haven't tried on target migrations for
quite some time now).

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your code review.

I hesitated on this one.

While exfatprogs provides the same tools as exfat-utils, there are a few differences.
 1. In exfat-utils, `mkfs.exfat` is a symlink to `mkexfatfs` ; exfatprogs does not provide `mkexfatfs`.
 2. Some options have different names. For instance, exfat-utils uses "-n" to set the volume label whereas exfatprogs uses "-L" (like e2fsprogs, xfsprogs).

How do we convey the message that "exfatprogs replaces exfat-utils but is not 100% compatible"?

Also, I believe that exfatprogs is better than exfat-utils.
For instance, exfatprogs correctly format drives whose sector size is 4096 bytes whereas exfat-utils does not.

With best regards,

In 2/2 you've removed exfat-utils so users of exfat-utils will have to deal
with this one way or another.

Otherwise existing images will stay "stuck" with some old version of
exfat-utils and package manager won't "update" them to exfatprogs.

So it might be tricky, but if you're confident enough to remove the recipe
and to set RREPLACES/RCONFLICTS in package, then I think RPROVIDES doesn't
make it more dangerous :) - probably less, because on target update on
older image will end with the same exfatprogs as freshly baked image.
