If found, BitBake produces a warning. + +- Bitbake now checks + :term:`BBFILE_COLLECTIONS` for duplicate + entries and triggers an error if any are found. + +.. _migration-2.7-eclipse-support-dropped: + +Eclipse Support Removed +----------------------- + +Support for the Eclipse IDE has been removed. Support continues for +those releases prior to 2.7 that did include support. The 2.7 release +does not include the Eclipse Yocto plugin. + +.. _migration-2.7-qemu-native-splits-system-and-user-mode-parts: + +``qemu-native`` Splits the System and User-Mode Parts +----------------------------------------------------- + +The system and user-mode parts of ``qemu-native`` are now split. +``qemu-native`` provides the user-mode components and +``qemu-system-native`` provides the system components. If you have +recipes that depend on QEMU's system emulation functionality at build +time, they should now depend upon ``qemu-system-native`` instead of +``qemu-native``. + +.. _migration-2.7-upstream-tracking.inc-removed: + +The ``upstream-tracking.inc`` File Has Been Removed +--------------------------------------------------- + +The previously deprecated ``upstream-tracking.inc`` file is now removed. +Any ``UPSTREAM_TRACKING*`` variables are now set in the corresponding +recipes instead. + +Remove any references you have to the ``upstream-tracking.inc`` file in +your configuration. + +.. _migration-2.7-distro-features-libc-removed: + +The ``DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC`` Variable Has Been Removed +------------------------------------------------------ + +The ``DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC`` variable is no longer used. The ability to +configure glibc using kconfig has been removed for quite some time +making the ``libc-*`` features set no longer effective. + +Remove any references you have to ``DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC`` in your own +layers. + +.. _migration-2.7-license-values: + +License Value Corrections +------------------------- + +The following corrections have been made to the +:term:`LICENSE` values set by recipes: + +- *socat*: Corrected ``LICENSE`` to be "GPLv2" rather than "GPLv2+". +- *libgfortran*: Set license to "GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception". +- *elfutils*: Removed "Elfutils-Exception" and set to "GPLv2" for shared libraries + +.. _migration-2.7-packaging-changes: + +Packaging Changes +----------------- + +This section provides information about packaging changes. + +- ``bind``: The ``nsupdate`` binary has been moved to the + ``bind-utils`` package. + +- Debug split: The default debug split has been changed to create + separate source packages (i.e. package_name\ ``-dbg`` and + package_name\ ``-src``). If you are currently using ``dbg-pkgs`` in + :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` to bring in debug + symbols and you still need the sources, you must now also add + ``src-pkgs`` to :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`. Source packages remain in the + target portion of the SDK by default, unless you have set your own + value for :term:`SDKIMAGE_FEATURES` that + does not include ``src-pkgs``. + +- Mount all using ``util-linux``: ``/etc/default/mountall`` has moved + into the -mount sub-package. + +- Splitting binaries using ``util-linux``: ``util-linux`` now splits + each binary into its own package for fine-grained control. The main + ``util-linux`` package pulls in the individual binary packages using + the :term:`RRECOMMENDS` and + :term:`RDEPENDS` variables. As a result, existing + images should not see any changes assuming + :term:`NO_RECOMMENDATIONS` is not set. + +- ``netbase/base-files``: ``/etc/hosts`` has moved from ``netbase`` to + ``base-files``. + +- ``tzdata``: The main package has been converted to an empty meta + package that pulls in all ``tzdata`` packages by default. + +- ``lrzsz``: This package has been removed from + ``packagegroup-self-hosted`` and + ``packagegroup-core-tools-testapps``. The X/Y/ZModem support is less + likely to be needed on modern systems. If you are relying on these + packagegroups to include the ``lrzsz`` package in your image, you now + need to explicitly add the package. + +.. _migration-2.7-removed-recipes: + +Removed Recipes +--------------- + +The following recipes have been removed: + +- *gcc*: Drop version 7.3 recipes. Version 8.3 now remains. +- *linux-yocto*: Drop versions 4.14 and 4.18 recipes. Versions 4.19 and 5.0 remain. +- *go*: Drop version 1.9 recipes. Versions 1.11 and 1.12 remain. +- *xvideo-tests*: Became obsolete. +- *libart-lgpl*: Became obsolete. +- *gtk-icon-utils-native*: These tools are now provided by gtk+3-native +- *gcc-cross-initial*: No longer needed. gcc-cross/gcc-crosssdk is now used instead. +- *gcc-crosssdk-initial*: No longer needed. gcc-cross/gcc-crosssdk is now used instead. +- *glibc-initial*: Removed because the benefits of having it for site_config are currently outweighed by the cost of building the recipe. + +.. _migration-2.7-removed-classes: + +Removed Classes +--------------- + +The following classes have been removed: + +- *distutils-tools*: This class was never used. +- *bugzilla.bbclass*: Became obsolete. +- *distrodata*: This functionally has been replaced by a more modern tinfoil-based implementation. + +.. _migration-2.7-miscellaneous-changes: + +Miscellaneous Changes +--------------------- + +The following miscellaneous changes occurred: + +- The ``distro`` subdirectory of the Poky repository has been removed + from the top-level ``scripts`` directory. + +- Perl now builds for the target using + `perl-cross <https://arsv.github.io/perl-cross/>`_ for better + maintainability and improved build performance. This change should + not present any problems unless you have heavily customized your Perl + recipe. + +- ``arm-tunes``: Removed the "-march" option if mcpu is already added. + +- ``update-alternatives``: Convert file renames to + :term:`PACKAGE_PREPROCESS_FUNCS` + +- ``base/pixbufcache``: Obsolete ``sstatecompletions`` code has been + removed. + +- :ref:`native <ref-classes-native>` class: + :term:`RDEPENDS` handling has been enabled. + +- ``inetutils``: This recipe has rsh disabled. + + |
