RFC: classes cleanup

Hi all,

I was looking through classes/ the other day and I noticed a few that probably don't need to be in oe-core. The list I came up with:

* base_srpm.bbclass - unused, refers to missing rpm_core.bbclass
* ccdv.bbclass - unused, not sure what this is for?
* flow-lossage.bbclass - unused, looks obsolete (refers to gcc 3.4)
* mozilla.bbclass - should this be in an upper layer?
* openmoko*.bbclass - should be in an upper layer
* patcher.bbclass - obsolete?
* singlemachine.bbclass - obsolete?
* srec.bbclass - appears to be something LinuxMIPS related. Not sure it belongs in oe-core.
* tmake.bbclass - obsolete? even oe-dev doesn't use this AFAICT...
* xfce.bbclass - should this be in an upper layer?
* xlibs.bbclass - unused, obsolete?

Comments? Any others we ought to look at removing?

Cheers,
Paul

Agreed, this should be deleted. It used to be inherited by some of the gnome recipes (and, in oe.dev, still is by a few) to work around a compiler bug. But none of the recipes in oe-core do this, and we don't ship the affected compiler versions either.

There is one recipe in meta-oe which inherits this class so I guess that should be fixed before it's deleted.

p.

Can someone do that please as I think we should get rid of that class :)

Looking through the list there is nothing I feel we really need to keep at this point although some like patcher and singlemachine should still work...

Cheers,

Richard

I have some pending cleanups for meta-oe including this one, will post them today.

Cheers,
