So, graphics libraries were shipped as binaries months ago until userland was released and we had the opportunity to have access to sources and build libraries from them. We kept binaries and sources packages because the first sources versions had a couple of building issues or some missing files. So in order not to break ppl's work we kept them in the repo. Now, I don't have time to test if everything is OK with the graphics libraries generated from the userland package. If you guys have some apps and test that these libraries are behaving correctly, we can drop the binaries. On another hand we can keep them as a fallback solution. ag ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

It would probably be good to put together a simple test plan to ensure that it does run correctly. I must admit to being happier working on console applications rather GUIs and especially OpenGL/EGL type things but there are probably a few basic tests I can do. I could see if glxgears runs correctly. I could also look at EGL/GLES output from gstreamer.
