hi there,
over the last few months, we've transitioned the gcc-arm toolchain from meta-linaro-toolchain for master. Since we are approaching the next YP release, I would like to remove/cleanup recipes in meta-linaro-toolchain before we create the dunfell branch.
as of now, meta-linaro-toolchain has the following recipes: gcc_arm-8.2.bb gcc_arm-8.3.bb gcc_arm-9.2.bb gcc_linaro-7.2.bb
including all their usual dependencies, and the 'external' toolchain recipes.
meta-arm-toolchain has gcc_arm-8.2.bb gcc_arm-8.3.bb gcc_arm-9.2.bb
and it's strictly the same metadata, as of now.
As such, I am proposing to remove all recipes from meta-linaro-toolchain master branch, and require every user to transition to meta-arm.
it will effectively become an empty layer.. so I have 2 options:
- keep an empty layer with conf/layer.conf
- remove the layer completely (e.g. remote meta-linaro-toolchain folder)
I am not sure which one is better.. #2 will generate an obvious error message for anyone using the layer. Maybe that would be a strong signal..
I will default to #2 right before we create the dunfell branch (in a couple of weeks max), unless someone speaks before that!
I agree with you that #2 is the correct choice (in case you were wanting a secondary opinion).

Thanks, Jon
Nothing will change of course for our stable branches.
cheers nico
