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. |
