| 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``) |
