Description Jussi Kukkonen 2017-04-19 07:28:18 UTC 
gnome-common is legacy and now conflicts with files from autoconf-archive. Let's drop gnome-common from oe-core (maybe even meta-oe).

We have three recipes in oe-core that "need" gnome-common (python3-pygobject, gnome-desktop3, matchbox-desktop). The only meaningful usage of gnome-common in their configure.ac's is GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS() which is already deprecated by AX_something_something() (can't remember exactly).

I think I can't get a patch in by monday, moving to M2
Comment 2 Jussi Kukkonen 2017-07-06 13:18:07 UTC 
Initial patch sent to meta-oe, will send the oe-core set soon.

Comment 3 Jussi Kukkonen 2017-07-17 12:45:47 UTC 
oe-core patch is on the list. Once that's merged I still have to send the some fixes to meta-oe (to remove that hacks in autoconf-archive).

Removed from oe-core in 14b41d6ad6f582a229b6bd62fc4eb17f615d1ad7.
