And do you really need a .inc?

It would help for the sake of the uninitiated if you specified what to drop, 
since your mail client has wrapped the quoted text incorrectly.

Are we removing inc files if they were present in OE Classic? First I've heard 
if we are...

If we are trying to reduce the number of versions of recipes we carry,
dropping .inc files would seem to be a good idea. I don't have strong
feelings, but it seems like something we should consider.

I agree we should try to keep only one version of each recipe in software 
layers, however I figure it makes it easier for people to carry their own 
versions of recipes in distro layers (particularly older, which may be 
required in certain circumstances) if we do keep inc files where they already 
exist.

Paul

I put the .inc in this patch, indeed because it was there in OE
Classic. I can update the patch if there is a consensus to remove the
.inc.

also for the INC_PR, I added it, because I thought it makes sense for
.bb with .inc to have that. again, i can update the patch if you
recommend doing this way.

thx

Can people raise their hand if they want to have a different version of smartmontools in their layer?

Even assuming everyone who could possibly want this is reading this thread, 
which is unlikely, in the absence of time machines you won't hear from anyone 
who doesn't need it now but does in the future. 

As a general rule, people do often want to build versions of recipes from SCM 
repositories and having an inc file makes that a bit easier. If we already have 
the inc file split I can't see a compelling reason to drop it.

I would also point out that we were asked to preserve these in the original 
move to OE-Core and as far as I am aware we have done so.

Cheers,
Paul

i think it would be nice to have a policy for that. i am going to send a
couple of recipes for new components, and it would be good to know what's
the agreed 'policy' for .inc file. in fact, it's not even clear to me why
have .inc file is easier to carry different version in distro layers. well
it's just a 'large' recipe to carry over..

IMO, let's keep the separate inc file, but drop PR and INC_PR.

It's unnecessary clutter and in the smartmontools case unneeded as well.

I still haven't heard a compelling case why smartmontools needs a .inc and all the other recipes in meta-oe don't. So drop the inc and be consistent with other recipes.

We probably should have a stated policy, yes. AFAIK the current perhaps 
unstated policy is to keep the inc file if it existed in OE-Classic.

If you carry over the whole recipe rather than "require recipes-
xyz/foo/foo.inc", then you won't get any improvements to the non-version-
specific parts of the recipe when the base layer updates in the future.

Alternatively if you "require recipes-xyz/foo/foo_6.5.bb" because there is no 
.inc, then your recipe will definitely break the next time the recipe in the 
base layer is upgraded, plus you may have to override more parts of the recipe 
that are specific to a different version than the one you are building.

All the other recipes? You mean all of them except for the significant number 
you can find if you run "git grep require.*inc" in meta-oe?

How is it any less necessary for smartmontools than any other recipe?

I don't have strong opinion about keeping/loosing .inc files, but
I've removed couple of .inc files when importing stuff from OE-Classic
in cases where .inc is relatively short (like in smartmontools). 

I would keep .inc when it's reused in different recipes or really
long/complicated (like mesa.inc).

We also have policy that there is only one version per recipe if
possible.

I agree with Martin. I've dropped some .inc files for recipes I worry
about also.

ok ,thanks for all the inputs. I will rework the recipe, and remove the
.inc as more people seem to be willing it this way.

also, i realized that there is newer upstream version of smartmontools, so
i will upgrade the recipe to the most recent one too.
