Apr 01 09:59:31 <mort> Does anyone know of a good general-purpose fetcher for google's gclient/fetch/etc stuff?
Apr 01 11:27:16 <mort> And what do you do when you need to use a license which isn't in the SPDX database? Like the Ubuntu Font License
Apr 01 11:31:09 <rburton> mort: as thats likely going to be used by more than one recipe your layer can ship it as a common-license
Apr 01 11:32:13 <mort> so like meta-my-layer-name/files/common-licenses/UbuntuFontLicense or something?
Apr 01 11:32:57 <rburton> almost
Apr 01 11:33:09 <rburton> see meta-arm-bsp, specifically the layer.conf sets LICENCE_PATH
Apr 01 11:33:37 <mort> alright, neat
Apr 01 11:33:53 <rburton> if its a one-off licence like hdparm which has its own special license, you can use NO_GENERIC_LICENSE
Apr 01 11:34:26 <mort> unrelated, but I wish people were better at exposing the "formal" name of their licenses; nowhere on the Ubuntu Font License page on ubuntu.com does it say that the license has the identifier UFL-1.0
Apr 01 11:34:36 <mort> nor does it have a link or anything to a plaintext version of the license
Apr 01 11:36:28 <rburton> there is a link to the plain text on https://ubuntu.com/legal/font-licence
Apr 01 11:38:05 <mort> oh
Apr 01 11:38:22 <mort> under "For those wishing to alter or expand the font itself", which I suppose I skipped because that's not my goal, heh
Apr 01 13:09:22 <mort> uh for some reason, bitbake fails in the package step for a recipe because it doesn't have permission to chown ${D}/usr
