I'm realizing now that simply depending on "opengl" DISTRO_FEATURES won't be
enough, unfortunately.
The issue is that DISTRO_FEATURES are set by the distro globally for all
machines, whether with accelerated graphics, display w/o acceleration or
completely headless. E.g. when building for J7200, "opengl" will be set, but
none of the graphics packages should be built or installed into the image.
So, some sort of check for MACHINE_FEATURES or PREFERRED_PROVIDER (less
elegant) would still be needed in some places...
Arguably that's a package group / distro target issue. I believe when a user
selects the default image with all features enabled for J721E and J721S2 the
package selection should be equivalent (or at least as equivalent as possible
with the stuff going on now in meta-ti) to align with the distro features
selected. I believe the solution to this is to add a headless target/image that
removes Qt, GTK, etc. from the selected package groups and to suggest the use
of that instead if users want a truly headless distro.
Agree here, I believe this was the solution we came up with in
our call the other day.
I'd go as far as suggesting we drop the "default" image and try to match
Ubuntu naming here. Have 3 images: Desktop, Server, and IoT. (IoT is
a rebranded tisdk-thinlinux-image). User selects the one that matches
their usecase, no need to force them into one bucket automatically based
on their hardware.
