These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old
versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license.
There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different
quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security
fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively
hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a
different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem
and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions
and those in the v2 versions.
There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right
now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen
when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues.
Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it
also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not
needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp)
since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could
now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here.
I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future
maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.

Building tar-replacement-native as replacement of the host's tar in
the standard path was meant to be done manually by a user in
preparation for the regular bitbake run. Such a usage has been
superseeded by installing the pre-compiled buildutils and might have
been broken on hosts which need it by the sanity check for tar >=
1.26.
Therefore tar-replacement-native_1.28.bb can be removed in favor of
adapting the normal tar recipe such that it installs an opt-in binary
under a different path.
The special do_install logic is explicitly limited to class-target,
instead of making it the default and disabling it (which would be the
case for class-native and class-nativesdk).

dpkg-deb accesses tar via "gtar", add a symlink to ensure that nativesdk
for example correctly catches these accesses to tar (for buildtools-tarball).
This likely also fixes on target dpkg-deb usage.

There would be an error when the TMPDIR is long/deep, for example when
len(TMPDIR) = 410 while our supported longest value is 410:
aclocal: error: cannot open xxx
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
ERROR: autoreconf execution failed.
Let aclocal use the relative path for the m4 file rather than the
absolute would fix the problem.

The class itself currently does nothing. The idea is to mark all recipes that
make use of the texinfo utilities. In the future, this class could be used to
suppress the generation/formatting of documentation for performance,
explicitly track dependencies on these utilities, and eliminate Yocto's
current dependency on the host system's texinfo utilities.

This removed patch is a workaround for gcc-4.5 manifests buffer
overflow with app-arch/tar-1.{22,23}, according to the information
from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317139.
The problem with that patch is that it's only setting the magic
field of the header while the original statement sets both the magic
and the version field of the header. Because of this, all tar balls
created by the tar package in OE will be treated as old V7 format
tar balls.
As a negative effect of this behaviour, the tar package in OE cannot
handle device files correctly. This in turn leads to the udev cache
failure in images like core-image-lsb-sdk.

tar < 1.24 has symlink issues where extracting a tar archive containing a symlink
to a directory where that symlink already exists will cause the symlink to be
dereferenced. If that target doesn't exist tar can fail with a permissions error.
Since we need to be able to do this for packages containing symlinks like
xorg-minimal-fonts and eglibc, we have to ensure a tar 1.25 is available early
in the build process.

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things
and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several
logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more
information about the classifications used.
The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes"
as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to
people and has many different meanings.
Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass
at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as
they're no longer actively used or maintained.
