This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
Project |yocto-ver| Release (codename "|yocto-codename|") from the prior release.
:term:`WORKDIR` changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``S = ${WORKDIR}/something`` no longer supported
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If a recipe has :term:`S` set to be ``${``\ :term:`WORKDIR`\ ``}/something``,
this is no longer supported, and an error will be issued. The recipe should be
changed to::
S = "${UNPACKDIR}/something"
``S = ${WORKDIR}/git`` and ``S = ${UNPACKDIR}/git`` should be removed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Git fetcher now unpacks into the :term:`BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX` directory
rather than the ``git/`` directory under :term:`UNPACKDIR`.
:term:`BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX` is set in :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core
(OE-Core)`'s :oe_git:`bitbake.conf
</openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/bitbake.conf>` to :term:`BP`.
This location matches the default value of :term:`S` set by bitbake.conf, so :term:`S`
setting in recipes can and should be removed.
Note that when :term:`S` is set to a subdirectory of the git checkout, then it
should be instead adjusted according to the previous point::
S = "${UNPACKDIR}/${BP}/something"
Note that "git" as the source checkout location can be hardcoded
in other places in recipes; when it's in :term:`SRC_URI`, replace with
:term:`BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX`, otherwise replace with :term:`BP`.
How to make those adjustments without tedious manual editing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following sed command can be used to remove S = "${WORKDIR}/git
across a whole layer::
sed -i "/^S = \"\${WORKDIR}\/git\"/d" `find . -name *.bb -o -name *.inc -o -name *.bbclass`
Then, the following command can tweak the remaining :term:`S` assignments to
refer to :term:`UNPACKDIR` instead of :term:`WORKDIR`::
sed -i "s/^S = \"\${WORKDIR}\//S = \"\${UNPACKDIR}\//g" `find . -name *.bb -o -name *.inc -o -name *.bbclass`
The first change can introduce a lot of consecutive empty lines, so those can be removed with::
sed -i -z -E 's/([ \t\f\v\r]*\n){3,}/\n\n/g' `find . -name *.bb -o -name *.inc`
Supported kernel versions
