-Moving to the Yocto Project 2.3 Release (pyro)
-==============================================
-
-This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
-Project 2.3 Release (codename "pyro") from the prior release.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-recipe-specific-sysroots:
-
-Recipe-specific Sysroots
-------------------------
-
-The OpenEmbedded build system now uses one sysroot per recipe to resolve
-long-standing issues with configuration script auto-detection of
-undeclared dependencies. Consequently, you might find that some of your
-previously written custom recipes are missing declared dependencies,
-particularly those dependencies that are incidentally built earlier in a
-typical build process and thus are already likely to be present in the
-shared sysroot in previous releases.
-
-Consider the following:
-
--  *Declare Build-Time Dependencies:* Because of this new feature, you
-   must explicitly declare all build-time dependencies for your recipe.
-   If you do not declare these dependencies, they are not populated into
-   the sysroot for the recipe.
-
--  *Specify Pre-Installation and Post-Installation Native Tool
-   Dependencies:* You must specifically specify any special native tool
-   dependencies of ``pkg_preinst`` and ``pkg_postinst`` scripts by using
-   the :term:`PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS` variable.
-   Specifying these dependencies ensures that these tools are available
-   if these scripts need to be run on the build host during the
-   :ref:`ref-tasks-rootfs` task.
-
-   As an example, see the ``dbus`` recipe. You will see that this recipe
-   has a ``pkg_postinst`` that calls ``systemctl`` if "systemd" is in
-   :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES`. In the example,
-   ``systemd-systemctl-native`` is added to ``PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS``,
-   which is also conditional on "systemd" being in ``DISTRO_FEATURES``.
-
--  Examine Recipes that Use ``SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS``: You need to
-   examine any recipe that uses ``SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS`` and determine
-   steps to take.
-
-   Functions added to ``SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS`` are still called as they
-   were in previous Yocto Project releases. However, since a separate
-   sysroot is now being populated for every recipe and if existing
-   functions being called through ``SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS`` are doing
-   relocation, then you will need to change these to use a
-   post-installation script that is installed by a function added to
-   :term:`SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS`.
-
-   For an example, see the ``pixbufcache`` class in ``meta/classes/`` in
-   the :ref:`overview-manual/development-environment:yocto project source repositories`.
-
-   .. note::
-
-      The
-      SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS
-      variable itself is now deprecated in favor of the
-      do_populate_sysroot[postfuncs]
-      task. Consequently, if you do still have any function or functions
-      that need to be called after the sysroot component is created for
-      a recipe, then you would be well advised to take steps to use a
-      post installation script as described previously. Taking these
-      steps prepares your code for when
-      SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS
-      is removed in a future Yocto Project release.
-
--  *Specify the Sysroot when Using Certain External Scripts:* Because
-   the shared sysroot is now gone, the scripts
-   ``oe-find-native-sysroot`` and ``oe-run-native`` have been changed
-   such that you need to specify which recipe's
-   :term:`STAGING_DIR_NATIVE` is used.
-
-.. note::
-
-   You can find more information on how recipe-specific sysroots work in
-   the ":ref:`ref-classes-staging`" section.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-path-variable:
-
-``PATH`` Variable
------------------
-
-Within the environment used to run build tasks, the environment variable
-``PATH`` is now sanitized such that the normal native binary paths
-(``/bin``, ``/sbin``, ``/usr/bin`` and so forth) are removed and a
-directory containing symbolic links linking only to the binaries from
-the host mentioned in the :term:`HOSTTOOLS` and
-:term:`HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL` variables is added
-to ``PATH``.
-
-Consequently, any native binaries provided by the host that you need to
-call needs to be in one of these two variables at the configuration
-level.
-
-Alternatively, you can add a native recipe (i.e. ``-native``) that
-provides the binary to the recipe's :term:`DEPENDS`
-value.
-
-.. note::
-
-   PATH
-   is not sanitized in the same way within ``devshell``.
-   If it were, you would have difficulty running host tools for
-   development and debugging within the shell.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-scripts:
-
-Changes to Scripts
-------------------
-
-The following changes to scripts took place:
-
--  ``oe-find-native-sysroot``: The usage for the
-   ``oe-find-native-sysroot`` script has changed to the following::
-
-      $ . oe-find-native-sysroot recipe
-
-   You must now supply a recipe for recipe
-   as part of the command. Prior to the Yocto Project 2.3 release, it
-   was not necessary to provide the script with the command.
-
--  ``oe-run-native``: The usage for the ``oe-run-native`` script has
-   changed to the following::
-
-      $ oe-run-native native_recipe tool
-
-   You must
-   supply the name of the native recipe and the tool you want to run as
-   part of the command. Prior to the Yocto Project 2.3 release, it
-   was not necessary to provide the native recipe with the command.
-
--  ``cleanup-workdir``: The ``cleanup-workdir`` script has been
-   removed because the script was found to be deleting files it should
-   not have, which lead to broken build trees. Rather than trying to
-   delete portions of :term:`TMPDIR` and getting it wrong,
-   it is recommended that you delete ``TMPDIR`` and have it restored
-   from shared state (sstate) on subsequent builds.
-
--  ``wipe-sysroot``: The ``wipe-sysroot`` script has been removed as
-   it is no longer needed with recipe-specific sysroots.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-functions:
-
-Changes to Functions
---------------------
-
-The previously deprecated ``bb.data.getVar()``, ``bb.data.setVar()``,
-and related functions have been removed in favor of ``d.getVar()``,
-``d.setVar()``, and so forth.
-
-You need to fix any references to these old functions.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-bitbake-changes:
-
-BitBake Changes
----------------
-
-The following changes took place for BitBake:
-
--  *BitBake's Graphical Dependency Explorer UI Replaced:* BitBake's
-   graphical dependency explorer UI ``depexp`` was replaced by
-   ``taskexp`` ("Task Explorer"), which provides a graphical way of
-   exploring the ``task-depends.dot`` file. The data presented by Task
-   Explorer is much more accurate than the data that was presented by
-   ``depexp``. Being able to visualize the data is an often requested
-   feature as standard ``*.dot`` file viewers cannot usual cope with the
-   size of the ``task-depends.dot`` file.
-
--  *BitBake "-g" Output Changes:* The ``package-depends.dot`` and
-   ``pn-depends.dot`` files as previously generated using the
-   ``bitbake -g`` command have been removed. A ``recipe-depends.dot``
-   file is now generated as a collapsed version of ``task-depends.dot``
-   instead.
-
-   The reason for this change is because ``package-depends.dot`` and
-   ``pn-depends.dot`` largely date back to a time before task-based
-   execution and do not take into account task-level dependencies
-   between recipes, which could be misleading.
-
--  *Mirror Variable Splitting Changes:* Mirror variables including
-   :term:`MIRRORS`, :term:`PREMIRRORS`,
-   and :term:`SSTATE_MIRRORS` can now separate
-   values entirely with spaces. Consequently, you no longer need "\\n".
-   BitBake looks for pairs of values, which simplifies usage. There
-   should be no change required to existing mirror variable values
-   themselves.
-
--  *The Subversion (SVN) Fetcher Uses an "ssh" Parameter and Not an
-   "rsh" Parameter:* The SVN fetcher now takes an "ssh" parameter
-   instead of an "rsh" parameter. This new optional parameter is used
-   when the "protocol" parameter is set to "svn+ssh". You can only use
-   the new parameter to specify the ``ssh`` program used by SVN. The SVN
-   fetcher passes the new parameter through the ``SVN_SSH`` environment
-   variable during the :ref:`ref-tasks-fetch` task.
-
-   See the ":ref:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-fetching:subversion (svn) fetcher (\`\`svn://\`\`)`"
-   section in the BitBake
-   User Manual for additional information.
-
--  ``BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION`` and ``BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION2``
-   Removed: Because the mechanism they were part of is no longer
-   necessary with recipe-specific sysroots, the
-   ``BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION`` and ``BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION2``
-   variables have been removed.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-absolute-symlinks:
-
-Absolute Symbolic Links
------------------------
-
-Absolute symbolic links (symlinks) within staged files are no longer
-permitted and now trigger an error. Any explicit creation of symlinks
-can use the ``lnr`` script, which is a replacement for ``ln -r``.
-
-If the build scripts in the software that the recipe is building are
-creating a number of absolute symlinks that need to be corrected, you
-can inherit ``relative_symlinks`` within the recipe to turn those
-absolute symlinks into relative symlinks.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-gplv2-and-gplv3-moves:
-
-GPLv2 Versions of GPLv3 Recipes Moved
--------------------------------------
-
-Older GPLv2 versions of GPLv3 recipes have moved to a separate
-``meta-gplv2`` layer.
-
-If you use :term:`INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE` to
-exclude GPLv3 or set :term:`PREFERRED_VERSION`
-to substitute a GPLv2 version of a GPLv3 recipe, then you must add the
-``meta-gplv2`` layer to your configuration.
-
-.. note::
-
-   You can ``find meta-gplv2`` layer in the OpenEmbedded layer index at
-   :oe_layer:`/meta-gplv2`.
-
-These relocated GPLv2 recipes do not receive the same level of
-maintenance as other core recipes. The recipes do not get security fixes
-and upstream no longer maintains them. In fact, the upstream community
-is actively hostile towards people that use the old versions of the
-recipes. Moving these recipes into a separate layer both makes the
-different needs of the recipes clearer and clearly identifies the number
-of these recipes.
-
-.. note::
-
-   The long-term solution might be to move to BSD-licensed replacements
-   of the GPLv3 components for those that need to exclude GPLv3-licensed
-   components from the target system. This solution will be investigated
-   for future Yocto Project releases.

-Package Management Changes
---------------------------
-
-The following package management changes took place:
-
--  Smart package manager is replaced by DNF package manager. Smart has
-   become unmaintained upstream, is not ported to Python 3.x.
-   Consequently, Smart needed to be replaced. DNF is the only feasible
-   candidate.
-
-   The change in functionality is that the on-target runtime package
-   management from remote package feeds is now done with a different
-   tool that has a different set of command-line options. If you have
-   scripts that call the tool directly, or use its API, they need to be
-   fixed.
-
-   For more information, see the `DNF
-   Documentation <https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__.
-
--  Rpm 5.x is replaced with Rpm 4.x. This is done for two major reasons:
-
-   -  DNF is API-incompatible with Rpm 5.x and porting it and
-      maintaining the port is non-trivial.
-
-   -  Rpm 5.x itself has limited maintenance upstream, and the Yocto
-      Project is one of the very few remaining users.
-
--  Berkeley DB 6.x is removed and Berkeley DB 5.x becomes the default:
-
-   -  Version 6.x of Berkeley DB has largely been rejected by the open
-      source community due to its AGPLv3 license. As a result, most
-      mainstream open source projects that require DB are still
-      developed and tested with DB 5.x.
-
-   -  In OE-core, the only thing that was requiring DB 6.x was Rpm 5.x.
-      Thus, no reason exists to continue carrying DB 6.x in OE-core.
-
--  ``createrepo`` is replaced with ``createrepo_c``.
-
-   ``createrepo_c`` is the current incarnation of the tool that
-   generates remote repository metadata. It is written in C as compared
-   to ``createrepo``, which is written in Python. ``createrepo_c`` is
-   faster and is maintained.
-
--  Architecture-independent RPM packages are "noarch" instead of "all".
-
-   This change was made because too many places in DNF/RPM4 stack
-   already make that assumption. Only the filenames and the architecture
-   tag has changed. Nothing else has changed in OE-core system,
-   particularly in the :ref:`allarch.bbclass <ref-classes-allarch>`
-   class.
-
--  Signing of remote package feeds using ``PACKAGE_FEED_SIGN`` is not
-   currently supported. This issue will be fully addressed in a future
-   Yocto Project release. See :yocto_bugs:`defect 11209 </show_bug.cgi?id=11209>`
-   for more information on a solution to package feed signing with RPM
-   in the Yocto Project 2.3 release.
-
--  OPKG now uses the libsolv backend for resolving package dependencies
-   by default. This is vastly superior to OPKG's internal ad-hoc solver
-   that was previously used. This change does have a small impact on
-   disk (around 500 KB) and memory footprint.
-
-   .. note::
-
-      For further details on this change, see the
-      :yocto_git:`commit message </poky/commit/?id=f4d4f99cfbc2396e49c1613a7d237b9e57f06f81>`.

-.. _migration-2.3-removed-recipes:
-
-Removed Recipes
----------------
-
-The following recipes have been removed:
-
--  ``linux-yocto 4.8``: Version 4.8 has been removed. Versions 4.1
-   (LTSI), 4.4 (LTS), 4.9 (LTS/LTSI) and 4.10 are now present.
-
--  ``python-smartpm``: Functionally replaced by ``dnf``.
-
--  ``createrepo``: Replaced by the ``createrepo-c`` recipe.
-
--  ``rpmresolve``: No longer needed with the move to RPM 4 as RPM
-   itself is used instead.
-
--  ``gstreamer``: Removed the GStreamer Git version recipes as they
-   have been stale. ``1.10.``\ x recipes are still present.
-
--  ``alsa-conf-base``: Merged into ``alsa-conf`` since ``libasound``
-   depended on both. Essentially, no way existed to install only one of
-   these.
-
--  ``tremor``: Moved to ``meta-multimedia``. Fixed-integer Vorbis
-   decoding is not needed by current hardware. Thus, GStreamer's ivorbis
-   plugin has been disabled by default eliminating the need for the
-   ``tremor`` recipe in :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)`.
-
--  ``gummiboot``: Replaced by ``systemd-boot``.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-wic-changes:
-
-Wic Changes
------------
-
-The following changes have been made to Wic:
-
-.. note::
-
-   For more information on Wic, see the
-   ":ref:`dev-manual/common-tasks:creating partitioned images using wic`"
-   section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
-
--  *Default Output Directory Changed:* Wic's default output directory is
-   now the current directory by default instead of the unusual
-   ``/var/tmp/wic``.
-
-   The "-o" and "--outdir" options remain unchanged and are used to
-   specify your preferred output directory if you do not want to use the
-   default directory.
-
--  *fsimage Plug-in Removed:* The Wic fsimage plugin has been removed as
-   it duplicates functionality of the rawcopy plugin.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-qa-changes:
-
-QA Changes
-----------
-
-The following QA checks have changed:
-
--  ``unsafe-references-in-binaries``: The
-   ``unsafe-references-in-binaries`` QA check, which was disabled by
-   default, has now been removed. This check was intended to detect
-   binaries in ``/bin`` that link to libraries in ``/usr/lib`` and have
-   the case where the user has ``/usr`` on a separate filesystem to
-   ``/``.
-
-   The removed QA check was buggy. Additionally, ``/usr`` residing on a
-   separate partition from ``/`` is now a rare configuration.
-   Consequently, ``unsafe-references-in-binaries`` was removed.
-
--  ``file-rdeps``: The ``file-rdeps`` QA check is now an error by
-   default instead of a warning. Because it is an error instead of a
-   warning, you need to address missing runtime dependencies.
-
-   For additional information, see the
-   :ref:`insane <ref-classes-insane>` class and the
-   ":ref:`ref-manual/qa-checks:errors and warnings`" section.
-
-.. _migration-2.3-miscellaneous-changes:
-
-Miscellaneous Changes
----------------------
-
-The following miscellaneous changes have occurred:
-
--  In this release, a number of recipes have been changed to ignore the
-   ``largefile`` :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` item,
-   enabling large file support unconditionally. This feature has always
-   been enabled by default. Disabling the feature has not been widely
-   tested.
-
-   .. note::
-
-      Future releases of the Yocto Project will remove entirely the
-      ability to disable the
-      largefile
-      feature, which would make it unconditionally enabled everywhere.
-
--  If the :term:`DISTRO_VERSION` value contains
-   the value of the :term:`DATE` variable, which is the
-   default between Poky releases, the ``DATE`` value is explicitly
-   excluded from ``/etc/issue`` and ``/etc/issue.net``, which is
-   displayed at the login prompt, in order to avoid conflicts with
-   Multilib enabled. Regardless, the ``DATE`` value is inaccurate if the
-   ``base-files`` recipe is restored from shared state (sstate) rather
-   than rebuilt.
-
-   If you need the build date recorded in ``/etc/issue*`` or anywhere
-   else in your image, a better method is to define a post-processing
-   function to do it and have the function called from
-   :term:`ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND`.
-   Doing so ensures the value is always up-to-date with the created
-   image.
-
--  Dropbear's ``init`` script now disables DSA host keys by default.
-   This change is in line with the systemd service file, which supports
-   RSA keys only, and with recent versions of OpenSSH, which deprecates
-   DSA host keys.
-
--  The :ref:`buildhistory <ref-classes-buildhistory>` class now
-   correctly uses tabs as separators between all columns in
-   ``installed-package-sizes.txt`` in order to aid import into other
-   tools.
-
--  The ``USE_LDCONFIG`` variable has been replaced with the "ldconfig"
-   ``DISTRO_FEATURES`` feature. Distributions that previously set::
-
-      USE_LDCONFIG = "0"
-
-   should now instead use the following::
-
-      DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED_append = " ldconfig"
-
--  The default value of
-   :term:`COPYLEFT_LICENSE_INCLUDE` now
-   includes all versions of AGPL licenses in addition to GPL and LGPL.
-
-   .. note::
-
-      The default list is not intended to be guaranteed as a complete
-      safe list. You should seek legal advice based on what you are
-      distributing if you are unsure.
-
--  Kernel module packages are now suffixed with the kernel version in
-   order to allow module packages from multiple kernel versions to
-   co-exist on a target system. If you wish to return to the previous
-   naming scheme that does not include the version suffix, use the
-   following::
-
-      KERNEL_MODULE_PACKAGE_SUFFIX = ""
-
--  Removal of ``libtool`` ``*.la`` files is now enabled by default. The
-   ``*.la`` files are not actually needed on Linux and relocating them
-   is an unnecessary burden.
-
-   If you need to preserve these ``.la`` files (e.g. in a custom
-   distribution), you must change
-   :term:`INHERIT_DISTRO` such that
-   "remove-libtool" is not included in the value.
-
--  Extensible SDKs built for GCC 5+ now refuse to install on a
-   distribution where the host GCC version is 4.8 or 4.9. This change
-   resulted from the fact that the installation is known to fail due to
-   the way the ``uninative`` shared state (sstate) package is built. See
-   the :ref:`uninative <ref-classes-uninative>` class for additional
-   information.
-
--  All native and nativesdk recipes now use a separate
-   ``DISTRO_FEATURES`` value instead of sharing the value used by
-   recipes for the target, in order to avoid unnecessary rebuilds.
-
-   The ``DISTRO_FEATURES`` for ``native`` recipes is
-   :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_NATIVE` added to
-   an intersection of ``DISTRO_FEATURES`` and
-   :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_FILTER_NATIVE`.
-
-   For nativesdk recipes, the corresponding variables are
-   :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_NATIVESDK`
-   and
-   :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_FILTER_NATIVESDK`.
-
--  The ``FILESDIR`` variable, which was previously deprecated and rarely
-   used, has now been removed. You should change any recipes that set
-   ``FILESDIR`` to set :term:`FILESPATH` instead.
-
--  The ``MULTIMACH_HOST_SYS`` variable has been removed as it is no
-   longer needed with recipe-specific sysroots.
-
-
