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 ``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. - - |
