What do you think about following patch?
We had some discussion about this recently on the buildroot
mailinglist. Any other use cases other than rpcbind/nfs-utils you
can think of?
I had a quick look in Buildroot to see which packages currently only
work with "native RPC" (i.e provided by the C library) and not with
libtirpc. Notice that when I say don't work, I mean "not supported by
Buildroot", which doesn't mean that the package cannot handle libtirpc,
just that it is not done in Buildroot.
- autofs, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only
- openvmtools, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only
- portmap, obviously. But I believe we could get rid of this package
entirely, it is deprecated and rpcbind is the official replacement.
- samba4, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only
And that's it. So it leaves three packages to really analyze and see
the impact.
Best regards,
Thomas
