[OE-core] [RFC] Remove vala from oe-core

[Jussi Kukkonen]

Hi all,

There's currently no software built with vala in oe-core. That's not great
for vala (as it's not getting the automated testing that high quality
maintenance would require) and it's not great for oe-core (as maintenance
effort is better spent on components that _are_ used).

Based on the above there's a feature request** to remove vala from oe-core.
Please comment here or on the bug if you think this is an inappropriate
idea or have suggestions.

If the plan goes through I intend to send a patch to add vala to another
layer to minimize disruption: I guess that would be
meta-openembedded/meta-oe as vala seems to have one user in this layer and
another one on that layer ... Suggestions welcome on that as well.

Alex, note that this might affect your GI patch set (or the other way
round).


Regards,
  Jussi
