m4: refresh patches

2018-03-11T13:25:21+00:00

The patch tool will apply patches by default with "fuzz", which is where if the
hunk context isn't present but what is there is close enough, it will force the
patch in.

Whilst this is useful when there's just whitespace changes, when applied to
source it is possible for a patch applied with fuzz to produce broken code which
still compiles (see #10450).  This is obviously bad.

We'd like to eventually have do_patch() rejecting any fuzz on these grounds. For
that to be realistic the existing patches with fuzz need to be rebased and
reviewed.

m4: merge two .inc files

2018-01-09T11:45:20+00:00

Now that oe-core only has one copy of m4, there's no need to maintain two inc
files.

meta: Drop remnants of uclibc support

2017-06-16T09:58:25+00:00

uclibc support was removed a while ago and musl works much better. Start to
remove the various overrides and patches related to uclibc which are no longer
needed.

uclibc support in a layer would still be possible. I have strong reasons to
believe nobody is still using uclibc since patches are missing and I doubt
the metadata even parses anymore.

m4: do_configure: fix "Argument list too long"

2017-04-08T21:48:05+00:00

Fixed when len(TMPDIR) =  410:
Can't exec "/bin/sh": Argument list too long at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/IO/File.pm line 65.

This is becuase it has a lot of m4 files, use relative path for them
can fix the problem.

recipes: Move out stale GPLv2 versions to a seperate layer

2017-03-07T20:04:58+00:00

These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old
versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license.

There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different
quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security
fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively
hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a
different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem
and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions
and those in the v2 versions.

There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right
now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen
when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues.

Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it
also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not
needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp)
since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could
now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here.

I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future
maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.
