GTK+ 2 is being removed from oe-core, so remove it from the oe-core LSB packagegroup. Also document the fact that GTK+ 2 is no longer part of the LSB packagegroup, and point to meta-oe for the recipe if required.

OE-Core aims to be able to provide basic LSB compatible images. 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/]
|
|
|
|
* GTK+ 2 is provided by meta-oe. It is noted that GTK+ 2 is end of life
|
|
and use of GTK+ 2 isn't recommended.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
