Remove recipes for OpenBMC-specific repos not ported to meson by Sept 1st, 2023

[edtanous]

4 was submitted and proposed 18 months ago. In that amount of time, a significant number of the of the repositories have been converted to meson that were not previously, to the point where I think setting a deadline is more feasible.

The remaining autotools recipes are in two categories

OpenBMC repos and maintainers using autotools: jsndb - which already has a meson port in review pam-ipmi obmc-console phosphor-ipmi-bt phosphor-ipmi-ethstats libmctp

OpenBMC repos and maintainer still using cmake: smbios-mdr libpeci peci-pcie

Non-Openbmc owned repos, where OpenBMC owns the recipe (these are out of scope for this request): mboxd fbterm uart-render-controller

This request is requesting that those repos in category 1 and 2 will have their recipes removed by June 1st 2023 if they are not moved to meson in that timeframe. I will personally sign up to do two of the above ports in this time period.

Thoughts?

Was this intended to be an exhaustive list? phosphor-settingsd is also using autotools.

More pending:

• hiomapd / mboxd : https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/hiomapd/+/65396
• phosphor-ipmi-ethstats : https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/phosphor-ipmi-ethstats/+/65316

After the pending commit, it looks like we're down to these:

• jsnbd - C only
• pam-ipmi - C only
• phosphor-ipmi-bt / btbridge - C only
• libmctp - C only
• smbios-mdr - CMake
• libpeci - CMake
• peci-pcie - CMake

jsnbd commit is up: https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/jsnbd/+/65434

For smbios-mdr

peci-pcie: https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/peci-pcie/+/65612

It appears we are down to just one remaining repo:

• libmctp

As noted at the top, mboxd, fbterm, and uart-render-controller also point to autotools but they are outside of the scope of this work.

I don't think hiomapd/ mboxd is out of scope as it is in Gerrit. I've got a pending commit for that one but it is busted (with a test case failure) and I haven't gotten back around to looking at it again.
