[OE-core] should recipes be distro agnostic?

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

By coincidence I bumped into this in oe-core:

./meta/recipes-devtools/apt/apt.inc:EXTRA_OECONF_append_angstrom = "
ac_cv_glibc_ver=libc6.4"

That also triggered me to do this:

frans at frans-desktop:~/workspace/openembedded-core$ grep -r _poky .
./meta/recipes-sato/pcmanfm/pcmanfm_0.9.10.bb:DEPENDS_append_poky = "
libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pcmanfm/pcmanfm_0.9.10.bb:SRC_URI_append_poky = "
file://owl-window-menu.patch"
./meta/recipes-sato/leafpad/leafpad_0.8.18.1.bb:DEPENDS_append_poky = "
libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/leafpad/leafpad_0.8.18.1.bb:SRC_URI_append_poky += "
file://owl-menu.patch;apply=yes "
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/dates.inc:OWL_poky = "--enable-owl
--disable-dnd"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/dates.inc:DEPENDS_append_poky = " libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/dates.inc:SRC_URI_append_poky = "
file://dates-owl-window-menu.patch;apply=yes "
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/tasks_0.19.bb:OWL_poky = "--with-owl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/contacts.inc:DEPENDS_append_poky = " libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/contacts.inc:OWL_poky = "--enable-owl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/contacts.inc:SRC_URI_append_poky = "
file://contacts-owl-window-menu.patch;apply=yes "
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/tasks.inc:DEPENDS_append_poky = " libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/pimlico/tasks.inc:OWL_poky ?= "--enable-owl"
./meta/recipes-sato/puzzles/oh-puzzles_git.bb:DEPENDS_append_poky = "
libowl"
./meta/recipes-sato/puzzles/oh-puzzles_git.bb:SRC_URI_append_poky = "
file://oh-puzzles-owl-menu.patch;striplevel=0 "
./meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-runtime_4.6.bb:EXTRA_OECONF_append_poky-lsb
= " --enable-clocale=gnu"

I'd hoped oe-core to be core and not know things about distro's etc.
E.g. the first case with apt, this should probably be fixed with a
.bbappend in the angstrom layer, shouldn't it.
And the poky things in a poky layer.

(at least that is what I expected/hoped)

Btw did the same thing on meta-oe:
no _poky's, two for _angstrom:
./meta-oe/recipes-core/systemd/systemd_git.bb:SYSTEMDDISTRO_angstrom =
"angstrom"
./meta-gnome/recipes-gnome/system-tools/system-tools-backends_2.10.2.bb:SRC_URI_append_angstrom
= " \

In general I expected recipes to be without distro or hw suffixes (such a
suffx is an indication that the recipe is probably not at the proper place)

Best regards, Frans
