First, this is likely not the final implementation, but a RFC and prototype. Some binaries don't dynamically link to libraries, but instead at runtime dlopen() them. This means extra work for distributions as the dependencies are not detected automatically, so libraries may be missing. systemd is one such project which does this, and in an attempt to solve the packaging problem it also embeds the names of the libraries that can potentially be opened at runtime into ELF notes. These can be read to generate package dependencies. For example: packages/cortexa57-poky-linux/systemd/libsystemd-shared: RRECOMMENDS: added "libkmod (['>= 33']) libzstd (['>= 1.5.6'])" packages/cortexa57-poky-linux/systemd/libsystemd: RRECOMMENDS: added "libzstd (['>= 1.5.6'])" I expect this code to be changed before merging. Whilst systemd is the main user of his approach right now, I expect to see it used in more places in the future so there's a reasonably good argument to merge it into the core shlibs code. Also it currently manually extracts and parses the data, whereas maybe we should incorporate pyelftools into meta/lib/oe and use that to parse ELF files across all of OE.
