Some notes about current master branch

[GFallasRR]

Hi Team,

I wanted to share some comments about some recipes on current master branch, tested on Yocto Sumo:

• libguvc/gst-uvc-sink has some warnings/errors related to AUTOREV

WARNING: /home/gfallas/work/devdirs/customers/ridgerun/yocto-imx6/sources/meta-ridgerun/recipes-multimedia/libguvc/libguvc_1.4.0.bb: Exception during build_dependencies for AUTOREV

• GstPerf requires a license file in the repo and a couple of changes on the recipe

Error related to missing license

I tested adding the same recipe used by GstQtOverlay in the sources of GstPerf, I modified the source gst-perf.bb as follows:

SUMMARY = "GStreamer Perf 1.0"
DESCRIPTION = "GStreamer element to measure fps and performance"
HOMEPAGE = "https://github.com/RidgeRun/gst-perf-autotools"
SECTION = "multimedia"
LICENSE = "LGPLv2"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=2282fc857e14ce7b17c1c9d810504ac5"

DEPENDS = "gstreamer1.0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad"

SRCBRANCH ?= "master"
SRCREV = "939eee167c6e95ed1c2f2013246b1f0b671a378b"
SRC_URI = "git://github.com/RidgeRun/gst-perf.git;protocol=https;branch=${SRCBRANCH}"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git/"

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "dev-so"
FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/gstreamer-1.0/libgstperf.so
${libdir}/gstreamer-1.0/libgstperf.so.0
${libdir}/gstreamer-1.0/libgstperf.so.0.0.0
"

inherit autotools pkgconfig gettext

do_configure() {
${S}/autogen.sh
oe_runconf
}

Changes:
1- Added the license section
2- Adjusted 'S' to correct folder

Regarding libguvc and uvc-sink, the problem is that the URI is pointing to an invalid URL and that makes AUTOREV to fail. Once SRC_URI has the correct value the error should disappear.

Also, I would suggest to use the yocto-sumo branch when working with sumo.

This uvc error causes your readme step to fail. https://github.com/RidgeRun/meta-ridgerun#building-gst-shark-and-gstreamer-deamon

I ended up reverting to origin/feature/add-gst-motiondetect-recipe since this was right before uvc was added.
