2007-10-14mono: Remove obsolete files, update READMEHenryk Ploetz1
2007-10-02mono 1.2.5.1: added mono.bbclass, many changes required for packagingHenryk Ploetz1
New file: packages/mono/mono-mcs-intermediate_1.2.5.1.bb Compiles mono in native mode with standard prefix, then tars up the resulting tree and puts the tarfile into staging New file: packages/mono/mono_files.py Automatically generated using collect-path.py (attached to this mail) and contains a list that maps file patterns to package names (and contained assemblies, see below). New file: classes/mono.bbclass Has a helper function for the list that maps file patterns to package names and assemblies (see below). Also has a function mono_do_clilibs and inserts that function into PACKAGEFUNCS. This function calls mono_find_provides_and_requires which finds out (through calls to monodis --assembly and monodis --assemblyref) which assemblies are provided and required by a particular package. mono_do_clilibs then puts the information about provided assemblies into ${STAGING_DIR}/clilibs/${packagename}.list and information about the required packages into ${PKGDEST}/{packagename}.clilibdeps where it will later be picked up by the modified read_shlibdeps. Originally I had dependency resolution through the partial list in mono_files.py but obviously this doens't scale, so I implemented the new method with mono_do_clilibs. The benefit is now that I don't really need the extra information in mono_files.py anymore and can in principle get rid of mono_get_file_table and related code. Instead it should be possible to modify collect-paths.py to output bitbake .inc code (e.g. PACKAGES = "..." and a whole lot of FILES_... = "...") instead of python code. There's still the minor problem of how to handle the .mdb files, that's why I didn't implement it yet but instead opted for an approach that I knew would work. (Debian just puts the .mdb files into the individual packages, while I would argue that they do belong into corresponding -dbg packages.) Modified file: classes/package.bbclass In read_shlibdeps I folded the two identical code blocks dealing with *.shlibdeps and *.pcdeps into one and added *.clilibdeps (generated by mono_do_clilibs above). Modified file: packages/mono/mono_1.2.5.1.bb Add the mono-mcs-intermediate workaround. Add a whole lot of python code in populate_packages_prepend in order to split up the packages based on information from mono_files.py (via mono.bbclass' mono_get_file_table). As I said above a lot of this code can hopefully be replaced in the future.

2007-08-23mono-1.2.5pre5: add mono 1.2.5pre5Cliff Brake1
first version that runs on ARM EABI without floating point problems. Still needs a lot of packaging work.
