  1. OE-Core aims to be able to provide basic LSB compatible images. There
  2. are some challenges for OE as LSB isn't always 100% relevant to its
  3. target embedded and IoT audiences.
  4. One challenge is that the LSB spec is no longer being actively
  5. developed [https://github.com/LinuxStandardBase/lsb] and has
  6. components which are end of life or significantly dated. OE
  7. therefore provides compatibility with the following caveats:
  8. * Qt4 is provided by the separate meta-qt4 layer. Its noted that Qt4
  9. is end of life and this isn't something the core project regularly
  10. tests any longer. Users are recommended to group together to support
  11. maintenance of that layer. [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qt4/]
  12. * mailx has been dropped since its no longer being developed upstream
  13. and there are better, more modern replacements such as s-nail
  14. (http://sdaoden.eu/code.html) or mailutils (http://mailutils.org/).
  15. * A few perl modules that were required by LSB 4.x aren't provided:
  16. libclass-isa, libenv, libdumpvalue, libfile-checktree,
  17. libi18n-collate, libpod-plainer.
  18. * libpng 1.2 isn't provided; oe-core includes the latest release of libpng
  19. instead.
  20. * pax (POSIX standard archive) tool is not provided.
