Meta-backports
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
This layer is a place for backports against stable OpenEmbedded releases. For
|
|
stable OpenEmbedded releases, only bug fixes are merged by the OE developers,
|
|
and sometimes it might be useful to have newer versions of some components. This
|
|
layer will provide such facility.
|
|
|
|
We will accept backports from OE-core and meta-oe only, at least to start with.
|
|
|
|
The meta-backports layer depends on:
|
|
|
|
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
|
|
layers: meta
|
|
branch: kirkstone
|
|
|
|
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
|
|
layers: meta-oe
|
|
branch: kirkstone
|
|
|
|
Please follow the recommended setup procedures of your OE distribution. For
|
|
Angstrom that is http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom, other
|
|
distros should have similar online resources.

Notes
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The recipes are organized by 'layer name' in the top level folder, such that
|
|
recipes are parsed (and used) only if the corresponding layer is enabled in your
|
|
current configuration. This is to avoid bringing un-needed (or even unexpected)
|
|
dependencies into your build environment.
