<title>General Migration Considerations</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Some considerations are not tied to a specific Yocto Project
|
|
release.
|
|
This section presents information you should consider when
|
|
migrating to any new Yocto Project release.
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Dealing with Customized Recipes</emphasis>:
|
|
Issues could arise if you take older recipes that contain
|
|
customizations and simply copy them forward expecting them
|
|
to work after you migrate to new Yocto Project metadata.
|
|
For example, suppose you have a recipe in your layer that is
|
|
a customized version of a core recipe copied from the earlier
|
|
release, rather than through the use of an append file.
|
|
When you migrate to a newer version of Yocto Project, the
|
|
metadata (e.g. perhaps an include file used by the recipe)
|
|
could have changed in a way that would break the build.
|
|
Say, for example, a function is removed from an include file
|
|
and the customized recipe tries to call that function.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You could "forward-port" all your customizations in your
|
|
recipe so that everything works for the new release.
|
|
However, this is not the optimal solution as you would have
|
|
to repeat this process with each new release if changes
|
|
occur that give rise to problems.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The better solution (where practical) is to use append
|
|
files (<filename>*.bbappend</filename>) to capture any
|
|
customizations you want to make to a recipe.
|
|
Doing so, isolates your changes from the main recipe making
|
|
them much more manageable.
|
|
However, sometimes it is not practical to use an append
|
|
file.
|
|
A good example of this is when introducing a newer or older
|
|
version of a recipe in another layer.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Updating Append Files</emphasis>:
|
|
Since append files generally only contain your customizations,
|
|
they often do not need to be adjusted for new releases.
|
|
However, if the <filename>.bbappend</filename> file is
|
|
specific to a particular version of the recipe (i.e. its
|
|
name does not use the % wildcard) and the version of the
|
|
recipe to which it is appending has changed, then you will
|
|
at a minimum need to rename the append file to match the
|
|
name of the recipe file.
|
|
A mismatch between an append file and its corresponding
|
|
recipe file (<filename>.bb</filename>) will
|
|
trigger an error during parsing.</para>
|
|
<para>Depending on the type of customization the append file
|
|
applies, other incompatibilities might occur when you
|
|
upgrade.
|
|
For example, if your append file applies a patch and the
|
|
recipe to which it is appending is updated to a newer
|
|
version, the patch might no longer apply.
|
|
If this is the case and assuming the patch is still needed,
|
|
you must modify the patch file so that it does apply.

<para>
|
|
The shared state cache (sstate-cache), as pointed to by
|
|
<link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link>, by default
|
|
now has two-character subdirectories to prevent issues arising
|
|
from too many files in the same directory.
|
|
Also, native sstate-cache packages will go into a subdirectory named using
|
|
the distro ID string.
|
|
If you copy the newly structured sstate-cache to a mirror location
|
|
(either local or remote) and then point to it in
|
|
<link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>,
|
|
you need to append "PATH" to the end of the mirror URL so that
|
|
the path used by BitBake before the mirror substitution is
|
|
appended to the path used to access the mirror.
|
|
Here is an example:
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
|
SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH"

<title>Python Function Whitespace</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
All Python functions must now use four spaces for indentation.
|
|
Previously, an inconsistent mix of spaces and tabs existed,
|
|
which made extending these functions using
|
|
<filename>_append</filename> or <filename>_prepend</filename>
|
|
complicated given that Python treats whitespace as
|
|
syntactically significant.
|
|
If you are defining or extending any Python functions (e.g.
|
|
<filename>populate_packages</filename>, <filename>do_unpack</filename>,
|
|
<filename>do_patch</filename> and so forth) in custom recipes
|
|
or classes, you need to ensure you are using consistent
|
|
four-space indentation.

The suffix <filename>nativesdk</filename> is now implemented

All custom <filename>nativesdk</filename> recipes and any

Existing references to the previous <filename>task-*</filename>

upgrade path for most packages.
|
|
However, you should update references in your own recipes and

configurations as they could be removed in future releases.
|
|
You should also rename any custom <filename>task-*</filename>
|

recipes to <filename>packagegroup-*</filename>, and change
|
|
them to inherit <filename>packagegroup</filename> instead of
|
|
<filename>task</filename>, as well as taking the opportunity

to remove anything now handled by

<filename>packagegroup.bbclass</filename>, such as providing

In addition to the previously listed changes, the

because the recipes in it were not being maintained and many

<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS</filename>:</emphasis>

This variable now uses a distribution ID, which is composed

Previously,

For example, "Ubuntu 12.10" becomes "Ubuntu-12.10".

specifically setting it to "".

If you have a recipe that relied upon these directories,

The following changes have been made to the package QA checks:
|

<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem><para>

If you have customized
|
|
<link linkend='var-ERROR_QA'><filename>ERROR_QA</filename></link>

|
or <link linkend='var-WARN_QA'><filename>WARN_QA</filename></link>
|
|
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 <filename>ERROR_QA</filename>
|
|
or <filename>WARN_QA</filename> would be treated as a
|
|
warning.
|
|
Consequently, several important items were not already in
|
|
the default value of <filename>WARN_QA</filename>.
|

All of the possible QA checks are now documented in the

|
"<link linkend='ref-classes-insane'><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></link>"

|
<listitem><para>

An additional QA check has been added to check if

<filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename> is being installed.

Your recipe should delete this file within

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
|
|
<filename>ERROR_QA</filename> or

<filename>WARN_QA</filename> values and still wish to have

this check performed, you should add

other variables depending on how you wish it to be handled.

This change should be safe within contexts where these revisions

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

<filename>tinylogin</filename> recipe as recommended by upstream.
|

You can disable this split by setting

When fetching source from a Git repository using

SRC_URI = "git://server.name/repository;branch=<branchname>"

<para>

Separate build and source directories have been enabled
|
|
by default for selected recipes where it is known to work
|
|
(a whitelist) and for all recipes that inherit the
|
|
<link linkend='ref-classes-cmake'><filename>cmake</filename></link>
|
|
class.
|
|
In future releases the
|
|
<link linkend='ref-classes-autotools'><filename>autotools</filename></link>
|
|
class will enable a separate build directory by default as
|
|
well.
|
|
Recipes building Autotools-based
|
|
software that fails to build with a separate build directory
|
|
should be changed to inherit from the
|
|
<link linkend='ref-classes-autotools-brokensep'><filename>autotools-brokensep</filename></link>
|
|
class instead of the <filename>autotools</filename> class.

<filename>qemu-native</filename> now builds without

SDL-based graphical output support by default.

The following additional lines are needed in your

<literallayout class='monospaced'>

PACKAGECONFIG_pn-qemu-native = "sdl"

ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native"

</literallayout>
|
|
<note>
|
|
The default <filename>local.conf</filename>
|
|
contains these statements.
|
|
Consequently, if you are building a headless system and using
|
|
a default <filename>local.conf</filename> file, you will need
|
|
comment these two lines out.

The top-level <filename>LICENSE</filename> file has been changed
|
|
to better describe the license of the various components of
|
|
OE-Core.
|
|
However, the licensing itself remains unchanged.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Normally, this change would not cause any side-effects.
|
|
However, some recipes point to this file within
|
|
<link linkend='var-LIC_FILES_CHKSUM'><filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename></link>
|
|
(as <filename>${COREBASE}/LICENSE</filename>) and thus the
|
|
accompanying checksum must be changed from

3f40d7994397109285ec7b81fdeb3b58 to
|
|
4d92cd373abda3937c2bc47fbc49d690.
|
|
A better alternative is to have
|
|
<filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> point to a file
|
|
describing the license that is distributed with the source
|
|
that the recipe is building, if possible, rather than pointing
|
|
to <filename>${COREBASE}/LICENSE</filename>.

You need to take action on individual recipes that fail when

building with this option.

You need to either patch the recipes to fix the issues reported by
