At least while using rpm-packaging, the systemd package (rpm) got a dependency on python, as systemd-analyze needs this (in the shebang). When trying to create a small image using systemd, this isn't always desirable. Thus the splitting of systemd-analyze to a separate package.
As an RRECOMMENDS for python-pycairo is added for systemd-analyze, we also add new patch to conditionally build cairo with x11-support. This is desired for x11-less systems, to reduce build time and size. The actual patch is similar to how it is solved in oe-core. Conditionally RRECOMMENDS kbd and kbd-consolefonts: if the machine in question do not have keyboards, there is no need for kbd and kbd-consolefonts. The first patch should be fine for pulling. The 2nd patch should also be relativly non-controversial. The 3rd patch is new for v2, and can be omitted if more discussions is needed. All patches has been verified on a few internal arm-based machines, with a custom distro. ------------------------------------ v2: * The SRC_URI update has been applied to master. * Let systemd-analyze RDEPENDS on python-dbus, and RRECOMMENDS python-pycairo. * Add a patch to conditionally enable/disable x11 support when buildling cairo. * Add patch which makes the systemd's RRECOMMENDS on kbd and kbd-consolefonts conditional on the keyboard MACHINE_FEATURES.
