OpenEmbedded eV General Assembly

We have a short administrative meeting before starting the Developer meeting. All are welcome for this.

• Proposal to dissolve the current e.V. and re-constituting it in the U.S. to reduce the administrative burden for the project.
• Define a method for identifying lapsed memberships.
• Proxy form File:Proxy instructions-oe.pdf

Agenda

• Standards for BSP behavior. (Crofton)
• Tentative: User/group definitions. Distribution wide (uid/gid) vs layer wide (primary group, path, description, etc for users). (Saur)
• LayerIndex feature requests (tlwoerner)
  • build feedback (autobuilders and off-site)
  • master branch parsability
• Systemd packaging. As new things appear, they are lumped into one package. Update split? (Crofton relaying info)
• meta-yocto -> meta-poky. People are still spending too much time explaining reality. (Crofton)
• OVERRIDE syntax: is it time to reconsider _?
• How to make it easy to setup a system "the systemd way"? New DISTRO_FEATURE or IMAGE_FEATURE? (Saur)
  • Link /bin -> /usr/bin, /lib -> /usr/lib, etc.
  • Change ${systemd_unitdir} to /usr/lib.
  • Make the systemctl wrapper install in ${systemd_unitdir} rather than ${systemconf}/systemd.
    • This should also happen when installing a package in runtime.
• There are still a lot of projects (too many?) not using OE (tlwoerner)
  • why aren't more projects using OE?
  • how can we get more people using OE?
  • who should we be targeting? (build people (obviously), kernel devs? user-space devs?)
• Can we get systemd's first-boot support to work? It is disabled in the systemd recipe by touching /etc/machine-id. (Saur)
