If you can work on this, you might consider sending an email to the oe-core list explaining the need and getting agreement on splitting the component out before putting the work in on changing the recipe and testing it. Of course if it's not much work, just send the patch. -- Randy 90135 3 diego.ml 2021-04-27 15:07:30 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Diego, > There were changes made to util-linux: > > https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/ > ?id=65efd76198ad805060fe28714765cd423fa748dc > > https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/ > ?id=5f204796e73f37ee67d0a86512ce3ab6f19f9ed0 > > Would you be able to make a similar change for pylibmount and send a patch? > If you can work on this, you might consider sending an email to the oe-core > list explaining the need and getting agreement on splitting the component > out before putting the work in on changing the recipe and testing it.

I will do my best to work on this, but it may take me some time. 92993 4 randy.macleod 2022-04-11 22:10:52 +0000 Diego, any news? Moving to 3.6 93004 5 diego.ml 2022-04-12 11:07:35 +0000 I'm sorry, no news. Time is always too few. 95829 6 louis.rannou 2023-06-28 12:11:23 +0000 Since util-linux-uuid has been splited out, I don't see any circular dependency. However, util-linux won't always build because it gets the python version from the host instead of the native toolchain's. 95831 7 louis.rannou 2023-06-28 14:30:56 +0000 I found that we may require to inherit python3targetconfig. Still, because most of libraries are going into /lib , the python packages also go there. I don't think there is a way to use autoconf to specify the lib directory only for the python packages. Therefore, we may find more intersting to also split out the pylibmount subpackage as it was done for util-linux-uuid 97135 8 randy.macleod 2023-10-30 15:37:29 +0000 Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy 98844 9 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:13:56 +0000 Bulk move of 5.0 medium importance issues to 5.99. Move to 5.1 if you want to actively work on an issue. 98882 10 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:23:15 +0000 Move to 5.99 since no one is actively working on this issue. Move to 5.x if you start on a task, please. 105323 11 mathieu.dubois-briand 2026-04-30 15:23:43 +0000 We have no plan to do it, should be reopened if the issue it still there.
