+Release 1.5 (dora)
+==================
+
+This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
+Project 1.5 Release (codename "dora") from the prior release.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-host-dependency-changes:
+
+Host Dependency Changes
+-----------------------
+
+The OpenEmbedded build system now has some additional requirements on
+the host system:
+
+- Python 2.7.3+
+
+- Tar 1.24+
+
+- Git 1.7.8+
+
+- Patched version of Make if you are using 3.82. Most distributions
+ that provide Make 3.82 use the patched version.
+
+If the Linux distribution you are using on your build host does not
+provide packages for these, you can install and use the Buildtools
+tarball, which provides an SDK-like environment containing them.
+
+For more information on this requirement, see the
+":ref:`ref-manual/system-requirements:required git, tar, python and gcc versions`"
+section.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-atom-pc-bsp:
+
+``atom-pc`` Board Support Package (BSP)
+---------------------------------------
+
+The ``atom-pc`` hardware reference BSP has been replaced by a
+``genericx86`` BSP. This BSP is not necessarily guaranteed to work on
+all x86 hardware, but it will run on a wider range of systems than the
+``atom-pc`` did.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Additionally, a ``genericx86-64`` BSP has been added for 64-bit Atom
+ systems.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-bitbake:
+
+BitBake
+-------
+
+The following changes have been made that relate to BitBake:
+
+- BitBake now supports a ``_remove`` operator. The addition of this
+ operator means you will have to rename any items in recipe space
+ (functions, variables) whose names currently contain ``_remove_`` or
+ end with ``_remove`` to avoid unexpected behavior.
+
+- BitBake's global method pool has been removed. This method is not
+ particularly useful and led to clashes between recipes containing
+ functions that had the same name.
+
+- The "none" server backend has been removed. The "process" server
+ backend has been serving well as the default for a long time now.
+
+- The ``bitbake-runtask`` script has been removed.
+
+- ``${``\ :term:`P`\ ``}`` and
+ ``${``\ :term:`PF`\ ``}`` are no longer added to
+ :term:`PROVIDES` by default in ``bitbake.conf``.
+ These version-specific :term:`PROVIDES` items were seldom used.
+ Attempting to use them could result in two versions being built
+ simultaneously rather than just one version due to the way BitBake
+ resolves dependencies.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-qa-warnings:
+
+QA Warnings
+-----------
+
+The following changes have been made to the package QA checks:
+
+- If you have customized :term:`ERROR_QA` or
+ :term:`WARN_QA` values in your configuration, check
+ that they contain all of the issues that you wish to be reported.
+ Previous Yocto Project versions contained a bug that meant that any
+ item not mentioned in :term:`ERROR_QA` or :term:`WARN_QA` would be treated as
+ a warning. Consequently, several important items were not already in
+ the default value of :term:`WARN_QA`. All of the possible QA checks are
+ now documented in the ":ref:`insane.bbclass <ref-classes-insane>`"
+ section.
+
+- An additional QA check has been added to check if
+ ``/usr/share/info/dir`` is being installed. Your recipe should delete
+ this file within :ref:`ref-tasks-install` if "make
+ install" is installing it.
+
+- If you are using the ``buildhistory`` class, the check for the package
+ version going backwards is now controlled using a standard QA check.
+ Thus, if you have customized your :term:`ERROR_QA` or :term:`WARN_QA` values
+ and still wish to have this check performed, you should add
+ "version-going-backwards" to your value for one or the other
+ variables depending on how you wish it to be handled. See the
+ documented QA checks in the
+ ":ref:`insane.bbclass <ref-classes-insane>`" section.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-directory-layout-changes:
+
+Directory Layout Changes
+------------------------
+
+The following directory changes exist:
+
+- Output SDK installer files are now named to include the image name
+ and tuning architecture through the :term:`SDK_NAME`
+ variable.
+
+- Images and related files are now installed into a directory that is
+ specific to the machine, instead of a parent directory containing
+ output files for multiple machines. The
+ :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE` variable continues
+ to point to the directory containing images for the current
+ :term:`MACHINE` and should be used anywhere there is a
+ need to refer to this directory. The ``runqemu`` script now uses this
+ variable to find images and kernel binaries and will use BitBake to
+ determine the directory. Alternatively, you can set the
+ ``DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE`` variable in the external environment.
+
+- When buildhistory is enabled, its output is now written under the
+ :term:`Build Directory` rather than
+ :term:`TMPDIR`. Doing so makes it easier to delete
+ :term:`TMPDIR` and preserve the build history. Additionally, data for
+ produced SDKs is now split by :term:`IMAGE_NAME`.
+
+- The ``pkgdata`` directory produced as part of the packaging process
+ has been collapsed into a single machine-specific directory. This
+ directory is located under ``sysroots`` and uses a machine-specific
+ name (i.e. ``tmp/sysroots/machine/pkgdata``).
+
+.. _migration-1.5-shortened-git-srcrev-values:
+
+Shortened Git ``SRCREV`` Values
+-------------------------------
+
+BitBake will now shorten revisions from Git repositories from the normal
+40 characters down to 10 characters within :term:`SRCPV`
+for improved usability in path and file names. This change should be
+safe within contexts where these revisions are used because the chances
+of spatially close collisions is very low. Distant collisions are not a
+major issue in the way the values are used.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-image-features:
+
+``IMAGE_FEATURES``
+------------------
+
+The following changes have been made that relate to
+:term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`:
+
+- The value of :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` is now validated to ensure invalid
+ feature items are not added. Some users mistakenly add package names
+ to this variable instead of using
+ :term:`IMAGE_INSTALL` in order to have the
+ package added to the image, which does not work. This change is
+ intended to catch those kinds of situations. Valid :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`
+ are drawn from ``PACKAGE_GROUP`` definitions,
+ :term:`COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB` and a new
+ "validitems" varflag on :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`. The "validitems" varflag
+ change allows additional features to be added if they are not
+ provided using the previous two mechanisms.
+
+- The previously deprecated "apps-console-core" :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` item
+ is no longer supported. Add "splash" to :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` if you
+ wish to have the splash screen enabled, since this is all that
+ apps-console-core was doing.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-run:
+
+``/run``
+--------
+
+The ``/run`` directory from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 3.0 has
+been introduced. You can find some of the implications for this change
+:oe_git:`here </openembedded-core/commit/?id=0e326280a15b0f2c4ef2ef4ec441f63f55b75873>`.
+The change also means that recipes that install files to ``/var/run``
+must be changed. You can find a guide on how to make these changes
+`here <https://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org/msg31649.html>`__.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-removal-of-package-manager-database-within-image-recipes:
+
+Removal of Package Manager Database Within Image Recipes
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The image ``core-image-minimal`` no longer adds
+``remove_packaging_data_files`` to
+:term:`ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND`.
+This addition is now handled automatically when "package-management" is
+not in :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`. If you have custom
+image recipes that make this addition, you should remove the lines, as
+they are not needed and might interfere with correct operation of
+postinstall scripts.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-images-now-rebuild-only-on-changes-instead-of-every-time:
+
+Images Now Rebuild Only on Changes Instead of Every Time
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The :ref:`ref-tasks-rootfs` and other related image
+construction tasks are no longer marked as "nostamp". Consequently, they
+will only be re-executed when their inputs have changed. Previous
+versions of the OpenEmbedded build system always rebuilt the image when
+requested rather when necessary.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-task-recipes:
+
+Task Recipes
+------------
+
+The previously deprecated ``task.bbclass`` has now been dropped. For
+recipes that previously inherited from this class, you should rename
+them from ``task-*`` to ``packagegroup-*`` and inherit packagegroup
+instead.
+
+For more information, see the
+":ref:`packagegroup.bbclass <ref-classes-packagegroup>`" section.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-busybox:
+
+BusyBox
+-------
+
+By default, we now split BusyBox into two binaries: one that is suid
+root for those components that need it, and another for the rest of the
+components. Splitting BusyBox allows for optimization that eliminates
+the ``tinylogin`` recipe as recommended by upstream. You can disable
+this split by setting
+:term:`BUSYBOX_SPLIT_SUID` to "0".
+
+.. _migration-1.5-automated-image-testing:
+
+Automated Image Testing
+-----------------------
+
+A new automated image testing framework has been added through the
+:ref:`testimage.bbclass <ref-classes-testimage*>` class. This
+framework replaces the older ``imagetest-qemu`` framework.
+
+You can learn more about performing automated image tests in the
+":ref:`dev-manual/common-tasks:performing automated runtime testing`"
+section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-build-history:
+
+Build History
+-------------
+
+Following are changes to Build History:
+
+- Installed package sizes: ``installed-package-sizes.txt`` for an image
+ now records the size of the files installed by each package instead
+ of the size of each compressed package archive file.
+
+- The dependency graphs (``depends*.dot``) now use the actual package
+ names instead of replacing dashes, dots and plus signs with
+ underscores.
+
+- The ``buildhistory-diff`` and ``buildhistory-collect-srcrevs``
+ utilities have improved command-line handling. Use the ``--help``
+ option for each utility for more information on the new syntax.
+
+For more information on Build History, see the
+":ref:`dev-manual/common-tasks:maintaining build output quality`"
+section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-udev:
+
+``udev``
+--------
+
+Following are changes to ``udev``:
+
+- ``udev`` no longer brings in ``udev-extraconf`` automatically through
+ :term:`RRECOMMENDS`, since this was originally
+ intended to be optional. If you need the extra rules, then add
+ ``udev-extraconf`` to your image.
+
+- ``udev`` no longer brings in ``pciutils-ids`` or ``usbutils-ids``
+ through :term:`RRECOMMENDS`. These are not needed by ``udev`` itself and
+ removing them saves around 350KB.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-removed-renamed-recipes:
+
+Removed and Renamed Recipes
+---------------------------
+
+- The ``linux-yocto`` 3.2 kernel has been removed.
+
+- ``libtool-nativesdk`` has been renamed to ``nativesdk-libtool``.
+
+- ``tinylogin`` has been removed. It has been replaced by a suid
+ portion of Busybox. See the ":ref:`migration-1.5-busybox`"
+ section for more information.
+
+- ``external-python-tarball`` has been renamed to
+ ``buildtools-tarball``.
+
+- ``web-webkit`` has been removed. It has been functionally replaced by
+ ``midori``.
+
+- ``imake`` has been removed. It is no longer needed by any other
+ recipe.
+
+- ``transfig-native`` has been removed. It is no longer needed by any
+ other recipe.
+
+- ``anjuta-remote-run`` has been removed. Anjuta IDE integration has
+ not been officially supported for several releases.
+
+.. _migration-1.5-other-changes:
+
+Other Changes
+-------------
+
+Following is a list of short entries describing other changes:
+
+- ``run-postinsts``: Make this generic.
+
+- ``base-files``: Remove the unnecessary ``media/``\ xxx directories.
+
+- ``alsa-state``: Provide an empty ``asound.conf`` by default.
+
+- ``classes/image``: Ensure
+ :term:`BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS` supports
+ pre-renamed package names.
+
+- ``classes/rootfs_rpm``: Implement ``BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS`` for RPM.
+
+- ``systemd``: Remove ``systemd_unitdir`` if ``systemd`` is not in
+ :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES`.
+
+- ``systemd``: Remove ``init.d`` dir if ``systemd`` unit file is
+ present and ``sysvinit`` is not a distro feature.
+
+- ``libpam``: Deny all services for the ``OTHER`` entries.
+
+- ``image.bbclass``: Move ``runtime_mapping_rename`` to avoid conflict
+ with ``multilib``. See :yocto_bugs:`YOCTO #4993 </show_bug.cgi?id=4993>`
+ in Bugzilla for more information.
+
+- ``linux-dtb``: Use kernel build system to generate the ``dtb`` files.
+
+- ``kern-tools``: Switch from guilt to new ``kgit-s2q`` tool.
+
