![]() This brings us up to date with the latest upstream release. I suspect there will be an upcoming release to add compatibility with DPDK v18.05 (the DPDK release is due out any day now) but getting this fairly large release bump out of the way first will facilitate any upcoming uprev. We are able to drop they python3 patches as they have been merged upstream. Some scripts which needed to be updated to use python3 disappeared, new ones appeared so the 'use python3' patches are updated accordingly. Beyond this the biggest change is related to the systemd unit files, the ovsdb-server has been updated upstream to be generated on the fly via the spec file, we mimic this in the install_prepend. We also add the various configuration files which the unit files source before launching the services. As usual this was tested against out typical usecases including usage in meta-overc. As well the ptests have been run and the results are no better or worse. Previous version: ERROR: 2332 tests were run, 21 failed unexpectedly. 3 tests were skipped. New version: ERROR: 2527 tests were run, 29 failed unexpectedly. 3 tests were skipped.

meta-virtualization
This layer provides support for building Xen, KVM, Libvirt, and associated packages necessary for constructing OE-based virtualized solutions.
The bbappend files for some recipes (e.g. linux-yocto) in this layer need to have 'virtualization' in DISTRO_FEATURES to have effect. To enable them, add in configuration file the following line.
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " virtualization"
If meta-virtualization is included, but virtualization is not enabled as a distro feature a warning is printed at parse time:
You have included the meta-virtualization layer, but
'virtualization' has not been enabled in your DISTRO_FEATURES. Some bbappend files
may not take effect. See the meta-virtualization README for details on enabling
virtualization support.
If you know what you are doing, this warning can be disabled by setting the following variable in your configuration:
SKIP_META_VIRT_SANITY_CHECK = 1
Depending on your use case, there are other distro features in meta-virtualization that may also be enabled:
- xen: enables xen functionality in various packages (kernel, libvirt, etc)
- kvm: enables KVM configurations in the kernel and autoloads modules
- aufs: enables aufs support in docker and linux-yocto
- x11: enable xen and libvirt functionality related to x11
- selinux: enables functionality in libvirt and lxc
- systemd: enable systemd services and unit files (for recipes for support)
- sysvinit: enable sysvinit scripts (for recipes with support)
