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