There -are some challenges for OE as LSB isn't always 100% relevant to its -target embedded and IoT audiences. - -One challenge is that the LSB spec is no longer being actively -developed [https://github.com/LinuxStandardBase/lsb] and has -components which are end of life or significantly dated. OE -therefore provides compatibility with the following caveats: - -* Qt4 is provided by the separate meta-qt4 layer. Its noted that Qt4 - is end of life and this isn't something the core project regularly - tests any longer. Users are recommended to group together to support - maintenance of that layer. [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qt4/] - -* mailx has been dropped since its no longer being developed upstream - and there are better, more modern replacements such as s-nail - (http://sdaoden.eu/code.html) or mailutils (http://mailutils.org/). - -* A few perl modules that were required by LSB 4.x aren't provided: - libclass-isa, libenv, libdumpvalue, libfile-checktree, - libi18n-collate, libpod-plainer. - -* libpng 1.2 isn't provided; oe-core includes the latest release of libpng - instead. - -* pax (POSIX standard archive) tool is not provided. |
