This patchset replaces the outdated, unsupported Smart package manager with
DNF package manager (Fedora's successor to yum). This is not a trivial change
and there are many consequences:
- DNF is API incompatible with rpm5; therefore rpm5 is replaced with rpm4.
- There are various non-default features that aren't yet supported or tested:
such as signing packages and repositories, RPM_PREFER_ELF_ARCH and possibly
others
- db 6.x is removed from oe-core; db 5.x is replacing it
- Although I did my very best to test this patchset locally,
the whole thing may break down in surprising ways. I would appreaciate all the
help
you can provide here. The patchset touches many things in many places and has
more than the usual share of side effects.
One thing I forgot to mention: previously the way to force something to
run on target during package installation was to put 'if D is defined
then exit 1' to pkg_postinst(). That behavior is still supported, but
deprecated and produces a warning; the new way is to put target-specific
postinst actions to pkg_postinst_ontarget(). The rationale is in the
commit message:
