 Release 3.3 (hardknott)
 =======================

 This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
 Project 3.3 Release (codename "hardknott") from the prior release.


 .. _migration-3.3-minimum-system-requirements:

 Minimum system requirements
 ---------------------------

 You will now need at least Python 3.6 installed on your build host. Most recent
 distributions provide this, but should you be building on a distribution that
 does not have it, you can use the :term:`buildtools` tarball (easily installable
 using ``scripts/install-buildtools``) --- see
 :ref:`ref-manual/system-requirements:required git, tar, python, make and gcc versions`
 for details.

 .. _migration-3.3-removed-recipes:

 Removed recipes
 ---------------

 The following recipes have been removed:

 - ``go-dep``: obsolete with the advent of go modules
 - ``gst-validate``: replaced by ``gst-devtools``
 - ``linux-yocto``: removed 5.8 version recipes (5.4 / 5.10 still provided)
 - ``vulkan-demos``: replaced by ``vulkan-samples``


 .. _migration-3.3-common-license-only-versions:

 Single version common license file naming
 -----------------------------------------

 Some license files in ``meta/files/common-licenses`` have been renamed to match
 current SPDX naming conventions:

 - AGPL-3.0 -> AGPL-3.0-only
 - GPL-1.0 -> GPL-1.0-only
 - GPL-2.0 -> GPL-2.0-only
 - GPL-3.0 -> GPL-3.0-only
 - LGPL-2.0 -> LGPL-2.0-only
 - LGPL-2.1 -> LGPL-2.1-only
 - LGPL-3.0 -> LGPL-3.0-only

 Additionally, corresponding "-or-later" suffixed files have been added e.g.
 ``GPL-2.0-or-later``.

 It is not required that you change :term:`LICENSE` values as there are mappings
 from the original names in place; however, in rare cases where you have a recipe
 which sets :term:`LIC_FILES_CHKSUM` to point to file(s) in
 ``meta/files/common-licenses`` (which in any case is not recommended) you will
 need to update those.


 .. _migration-3.3-python3targetconfig:

 New ``python3targetconfig`` class
 ---------------------------------

 A new :ref:`ref-classes-python3targetconfig` class has
 been created for situations where you would previously have inherited the
 :ref:`ref-classes-python3native` class but need access to
 target configuration data (such as correct installation directories). Recipes
 where this situation applies should be changed to inherit
 :ref:`ref-classes-python3targetconfig` instead of
 :ref:`ref-classes-python3native`. This also adds a dependency
 on target ``python3``, so it should only be used where appropriate in order to
 avoid unnecessarily lengthening builds.

 Some example recipes where this change has been made: ``gpgme``, ``libcap-ng``,
 ``python3-pycairo``.


 .. _migration-3.3-distutils-path:

 ``setup.py`` path for Python modules
 ------------------------------------

 In a Python module, sometimes ``setup.py`` can be buried deep in the
 source tree. Previously this was handled in recipes by setting :term:`S` to
 point to the subdirectory within the source where ``setup.py`` is located.
 However with the recent :ref:`pseudo <overview-manual/concepts:fakeroot and pseudo>`
 changes, some Python modules make changes to files beneath ``${S}``, for
 example::

    S = "${WORKDIR}/git/python/pythonmodule"

 then in ``setup.py`` it works with source code in a relative fashion, such
 as ``../../src``. This causes pseudo to fail as it isn't able to track
 the paths properly. This release introduces a new ``DISTUTILS_SETUP_PATH``
 variable so that recipes can specify it explicitly, for example::

    S = "${WORKDIR}/git"
    DISTUTILS_SETUP_PATH = "${S}/python/pythonmodule"

 Recipes that inherit from ``distutils3`` (or :ref:`ref-classes-setuptools3`
 which itself inherits ``distutils3``) that also set :term:`S` to point to a
 Python module within a subdirectory in the aforementioned manner should be
 changed to set ``DISTUTILS_SETUP_PATH`` instead.


 .. _migration-3.3-bitbake:

 BitBake changes
 ---------------

 - BitBake is now configured to use a default ``umask`` of ``022`` for all tasks
   (specified via a new :term:`BB_DEFAULT_UMASK` variable). If needed, ``umask`` can
   still be set on a per-task basis via the ``umask`` varflag on the task
   function, but that is unlikely to be necessary in most cases.

 - If a version specified in :term:`PREFERRED_VERSION` is not available this
   will now trigger a warning instead of just a note, making such issues more
   visible.


 .. _migration-3.3-packaging:

 Packaging changes
 -----------------

 The following packaging changes have been made; in all cases the main package
 still depends upon the split out packages so you should not need to do anything
 unless you want to take advantage of the improved granularity:

 - ``dbus``: ``-common`` and ``-tools`` split out
 - ``iproute2``: split ``ip`` binary to its own package
 - ``net-tools``: split ``mii-tool`` into its own package
 - ``procps``: split ``ps`` and ``sysctl`` into their own packages
 - ``rpm``: split build and extra functionality into separate packages
 - ``sudo``: split ``sudo`` binary into ``sudo-sudo`` and libs into ``sudo-lib``
 - ``systemtap``: examples, Python scripts and runtime material split out
 - ``util-linux``: ``libuuid`` has been split out to its own
   ``util-linux-libuuid`` recipe (and corresponding packages) to avoid circular
   dependencies if ``libgcrypt`` support is enabled in ``util-linux``.
   (``util-linux`` depends upon ``util-linux-libuuid``.)


 .. _migration-3.3-misc:

 Miscellaneous changes
 ---------------------

 - The default poky :term:`DISTRO_VERSION` value now uses the core metadata's
   git hash (i.e. :term:`METADATA_REVISION`) rather than the date (i.e.
   :term:`DATE`) to reduce one small source of non-reproducibility. You can
   of course specify your own :term:`DISTRO_VERSION` value as desired
   (particularly if you create your own custom distro configuration).
 - ``adwaita-icon-theme`` version 3.34.3 has been added back, and is selected
   as the default via :term:`PREFERRED_VERSION` in
   ``meta/conf/distro/include/default-versions.inc`` due to newer versions
   not working well with ``librsvg`` 2.40. ``librsvg`` is not practically
   upgradeable at the moment as it has been ported to Rust, and Rust is not
   (yet) in OE-Core, but this will change in a future release.
 - ``ffmpeg`` is now configured to disable GPL-licensed portions by default
   to make it harder to accidentally violate the GPL. To explicitly enable GPL
   licensed portions, add ``gpl`` to :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` for ``ffmpeg``
   using a bbappend (or use ``PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-ffmpeg = " gpl"`` in
   your configuration.)
 - ``connman`` is now set to conflict with ``systemd-networkd`` as they
   overlap functionally and may interfere with each other at runtime.
 - Canonical SPDX license names are now used in image license manifests in
   order to avoid aliases of the same license from showing up together (e.g.
   ``GPLv2`` and ``GPL-2.0``)
