| Release 1.8 (fido) |
| ================== |
| |
| This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto |
| Project 1.8 Release (codename "fido") from the prior release. |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-removed-recipes: |
| |
| Removed Recipes |
| --------------- |
| |
| The following recipes have been removed: |
| |
| - ``owl-video``: Functionality replaced by ``gst-player``. |
| |
| - ``gaku``: Functionality replaced by ``gst-player``. |
| |
| - ``gnome-desktop``: This recipe is now available in ``meta-gnome`` and |
| is no longer needed. |
| |
| - ``gsettings-desktop-schemas``: This recipe is now available in |
| ``meta-gnome`` and is no longer needed. |
| |
| - ``python-argparse``: The ``argparse`` module is already provided in |
| the default Python distribution in a package named |
| ``python-argparse``. Consequently, the separate ``python-argparse`` |
| recipe is no longer needed. |
| |
| - ``telepathy-python, libtelepathy, telepathy-glib, telepathy-idle, telepathy-mission-control``: |
| All these recipes have moved to ``meta-oe`` and are consequently no |
| longer needed by any recipes in OpenEmbedded-Core. |
| |
| - ``linux-yocto_3.10`` and ``linux-yocto_3.17``: Support for the |
| linux-yocto 3.10 and 3.17 kernels has been dropped. Support for the |
| 3.14 kernel remains, while support for 3.19 kernel has been added. |
| |
| - ``poky-feed-config-opkg``: This recipe has become obsolete and is no |
| longer needed. Use ``distro-feed-config`` from ``meta-oe`` instead. |
| |
| - ``libav 0.8.x``: ``libav 9.x`` is now used. |
| |
| - ``sed-native``: No longer needed. A working version of ``sed`` is |
| expected to be provided by the host distribution. |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-bluez: |
| |
| BlueZ 4.x / 5.x Selection |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Proper built-in support for selecting BlueZ 5.x in preference to the |
| default of 4.x now exists. To use BlueZ 5.x, simply add "bluez5" to your |
| :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` value. If you had |
| previously added append files (``*.bbappend``) to make this selection, |
| you can now remove them. |
| |
| Additionally, a ``bluetooth`` class has been added to make selection of |
| the appropriate bluetooth support within a recipe a little easier. If |
| you wish to make use of this class in a recipe, add something such as |
| the following:: |
| |
| inherit bluetooth |
| PACKAGECONFIG ??= "${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'bluetooth', '${BLUEZ}', '', d)}" |
| PACKAGECONFIG[bluez4] = "--enable-bluetooth,--disable-bluetooth,bluez4" |
| PACKAGECONFIG[bluez5] = "--enable-bluez5,--disable-bluez5,bluez5" |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-kernel-build-changes: |
| |
| Kernel Build Changes |
| -------------------- |
| |
| The kernel build process was changed to place the source in a common shared work |
| area and to place build artifacts separately in the source code tree. In theory, |
| migration paths have been provided for most common usages in kernel recipes but |
| this might not work in all cases. In particular, users need to ensure that |
| ``${S}`` (source files) and ``${B}`` (build artifacts) are used correctly in |
| functions such as :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` and :ref:`ref-tasks-install`. For |
| kernel recipes that do not inherit from :ref:`ref-classes-kernel-yocto` or |
| include ``linux-yocto.inc``, you might wish to refer to the ``linux.inc`` file |
| in the ``meta-oe`` layer for the kinds of changes you need to make. For reference, |
| here is the |
| :oe_git:`commit </meta-openembedded/commit/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc?id=fc7132ede27ac67669448d3d2845ce7d46c6a1ee>` |
| where the ``linux.inc`` file in ``meta-oe`` was updated. |
| |
| Recipes that rely on the kernel source code and do not inherit the |
| :ref:`module <ref-classes-module>` classes might need to add explicit |
| dependencies on the :ref:`ref-tasks-shared_workdir` kernel task, for example:: |
| |
| do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_shared_workdir" |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-ssl: |
| |
| SSL 3.0 is Now Disabled in OpenSSL |
| ---------------------------------- |
| |
| SSL 3.0 is now disabled when building OpenSSL. Disabling SSL 3.0 avoids |
| any lingering instances of the POODLE vulnerability. If you feel you |
| must re-enable SSL 3.0, then you can add an append file (``*.bbappend``) |
| for the ``openssl`` recipe to remove "-no-ssl3" from |
| :term:`EXTRA_OECONF`. |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-default-sysroot-poisoning: |
| |
| Default Sysroot Poisoning |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| ``gcc's`` default sysroot and include directories are now "poisoned". In |
| other words, the sysroot and include directories are being redirected to |
| a non-existent location in order to catch when host directories are |
| being used due to the correct options not being passed. This poisoning |
| applies both to the cross-compiler used within the build and to the |
| cross-compiler produced in the SDK. |
| |
| If this change causes something in the build to fail, it almost |
| certainly means the various compiler flags and commands are not being |
| passed correctly to the underlying piece of software. In such cases, you |
| need to take corrective steps. |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-rebuild-improvements: |
| |
| Rebuild Improvements |
| -------------------- |
| |
| Changes have been made to the :ref:`ref-classes-base`, |
| :ref:`ref-classes-autotools`, and :ref:`ref-classes-cmake` classes to clean out |
| generated files when the :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` task needs to be |
| re-executed. |
| |
| One of the improvements is to attempt to run "make clean" during the |
| :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` task if a ``Makefile`` exists. Some software packages |
| do not provide a working clean target within their make files. If you |
| have such recipes, you need to set |
| :term:`CLEANBROKEN` to "1" within the recipe, for example:: |
| |
| CLEANBROKEN = "1" |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-qa-check-and-validation-changes: |
| |
| QA Check and Validation Changes |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| The following QA Check and Validation Changes have occurred: |
| |
| - Usage of ``PRINC`` previously triggered a warning. It now triggers an |
| error. You should remove any remaining usage of ``PRINC`` in any |
| recipe or append file. |
| |
| - An additional QA check has been added to detect usage of ``${D}`` in |
| :term:`FILES` values where :term:`D` values |
| should not be used at all. The same check ensures that ``$D`` is used |
| in ``pkg_preinst/pkg_postinst/pkg_prerm/pkg_postrm`` functions |
| instead of ``${D}``. |
| |
| - :term:`S` now needs to be set to a valid value within a |
| recipe. If :term:`S` is not set in the recipe, the directory is not |
| automatically created. If :term:`S` does not point to a directory that |
| exists at the time the :ref:`ref-tasks-unpack` task |
| finishes, a warning will be shown. |
| |
| - :term:`LICENSE` is now validated for correct |
| formatting of multiple licenses. If the format is invalid (e.g. |
| multiple licenses are specified with no operators to specify how the |
| multiple licenses interact), then a warning will be shown. |
| |
| .. _migration-1.8-miscellaneous-changes: |
| |
| Miscellaneous Changes |
| --------------------- |
| |
| The following miscellaneous changes have occurred: |
| |
| - The ``send-error-report`` script now expects a "-s" option to be |
| specified before the server address. This assumes a server address is |
| being specified. |
| |
| - The ``oe-pkgdata-util`` script now expects a "-p" option to be |
| specified before the ``pkgdata`` directory, which is now optional. If |
| the ``pkgdata`` directory is not specified, the script will run |
| BitBake to query :term:`PKGDATA_DIR` from the |
| build environment. |
