I know, it's always rather difficult to throw something away, but I think we should discuss about deleting some packages from the recipes folder in our distro.

I think, that the main intention of the distro is to build a system for STB's and that mainly only these packages should stay here.
In the beginning, the openembedded folder has been cloned from oe and therefore we have packages for the X11 - System and many other things which we would never use.

At my point of view these packages should be deleted from the repository to keep it clear and structured.


I would suggest to delete this packages first:[list]

This is really not the complete list and should only start the discussion.

So what do You say?

Seems like a lot of work with no real benefit. If you know where to find relevant recipes, the others won't be in your way. Right now, some parsing time can saved by excluding some packages with BBMASK.

With the new oe structure all PLi related stuff will be contained in a single overlay/directory. This is something which we are looking at.

So the new starting point for oe will be a "active" clone from the new openembedded git?
