Merging Packages from OpenEmbedded

The below are some stylistic guidelines to be aware of when importing recipes from OpenEmbedded. Note: please be sure to always attribute OpenEmbedded when you take a recipe from there, even if it is changed heavily. Something like based on recipe from OE in your commit message should suffice.

• Consistent whitespace throughout the file
• File follows a roughly standard variable order
• Patches are all documented
• No legacy staging
  • where recipe has a custom do_stage function remove is and ensure its do_install covers everything the do_stage did
• Use BBCLASSEXTEND where possible instead of -native versions
• No -sdk or -nativesdk packages, use BBCLASSEXTEND
• pkgconfig .pc files are correct and don't need manual mangling
  • if its using pkgconfig.bbclass ensure the .pc files are correct, may need a patch. Sure sign is the .pc files have long paths in including the WORKDIR or sysroot paths. They should just have references like "/usr/lib/", i.e. target system paths and pkgconfig will automatically add in the correct sysroot paths as needed.
• No custom do_configure for autotooled projects
• Use "make install" where at all possible
• Remove any BBVERSIONS lines
• Use RDEPENDS_pacakgename rather than RDEPENDS (same for RRECOMMENDS)
• Poky generally avoids INC_PR
• Poky uses a separate file for hashes rather than having them embedded in the recipe, this may be something we want to adopt but is not the current state of play.
• Use ALTERNATIVE_* Recipe metadata instead of update-alternatives command
