Kurt Bodiker e5cfb60540 xen: Mini-OS source code with make links target applied
Mini-OS is a tiny OS kernel distributed with the Xen Project Hypervisor
sources. It is mainly used as operating system for stub domains that are
used for Dom0 Disaggregation.

The Mini-OS source tree is updated and released in coordination with Xen
releases. The Mini-OS source tree and architecture-specific symbolic
links are required for building the dependencies used to build Xen
stubodmains. For convenience, the make links target was executed before
packaging. Otherwise, this is a source package. The current build
methods for Xen stubdomains require either a source archive which
contains the Mini-OS source code or execution of a make target that will
fetch the appropriate Mini-OS source tree from it's git repository. This
recipe removes the mysticism of relating to the version of Mini-OS being
used and it's origins and provides the flexibility to easily changes
versions or patch as necessary.

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)
