Migration notes for |yocto-ver| (|yocto-codename|)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
|
|
Project |yocto-ver| Release (codename "|yocto-codename|") from the prior release.
|
|
|
|
``debug-tweaks`` removed from :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The ``debug-tweaks`` image feature is now removed because it was too vague about
|
|
what it achieved: an image on which the ``root`` user can login without a
|
|
password.
|
|
|
|
To achieve the same result, the features previously added by ``debug-tweaks``
|
|
should be manually added to the :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` variable. These are:
|
|
|
|
- ``allow-empty-password``
|
|
- ``allow-root-login``
|
|
- ``empty-root-password``
|
|
- ``post-install-logging``
|
|
|
|
Such a statement would be::
|
|
|
|
IMAGE_FEATURES += "allow-empty-password allow-root-login empty-root-password post-install-logging"
|
|
|
|
See the list of available image features in the :ref:`ref-features-image`
|
|
section of the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
|
|
|
|
Supported kernel versions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The :term:`OLDEST_KERNEL` setting is XXX in this release, meaning that
|
|
out the box, older kernels are not supported. See :ref:`4.3 migration notes
|
|
<migration-4.3-supported-kernel-versions>` for details.
|
|
|
|
Supported distributions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Compared to the previous releases, running BitBake is supported on new
|
|
GNU/Linux distributions:
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, some earlier distributions are no longer supported:
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`all supported distributions <system-requirements-supported-distros>`.
|
|
|
|
Go language changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Rust language changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Recipes inheriting the :ref:`ref-classes-cargo` do not install libraries by
|
|
default anymore. This behavior can be controlled by the
|
|
:term:`CARGO_INSTALL_LIBRARIES` variable.
|
|
|
|
systemd changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Support for ``split-usr`` and ``unmerged-usr`` are now removed after Systemd
|
|
was updated to version 255. This option allowed installing Systemd in a
|
|
system where directories such as ``/lib``, ``/sbin`` or ``/bin`` are *not*
|
|
merged into ``/usr``.
|
|
|
|
As a consequence, the ``systemd`` recipe no longer contains the ``usrmerge``
|
|
:term:`PACKAGECONFIG` option as it is now implied by default.
|
|
|
|
Recipe changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Removed variables
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following variables have been removed:
|
|
|
|
- ``PACKAGE_SNAP_LIB_SYMLINKS``: related to an unmaintained and obsolete
|
|
"micro" :term:`distro <DISTRO>`.
|
|
|
|
- ``SETUPTOOLS_INSTALL_ARGS``: obsolete and unused variable.
|
|
|
|
- ``BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY``: support for only warning the user when a
|
|
``.bbappend`` file doesn't apply to the original recipe has been dropped. See
|
|
the :ref:`dev-manual/layers:Appending Other Layers Metadata With Your Layer`
|
|
section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual for alternatives to
|
|
this variable.
|
|
|
|
Removed recipes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following recipes have been removed in this release:
|
|
|
|
- ``liburi-perl``: moved to :oe_git:`meta-perl </meta-openembedded/tree/meta-perl>`.
|
|
- ``python3-isodate``: moved to :oe_git:`meta-python </meta-openembedded/tree/meta-python>`.
|
|
- ``python3-iniparse``: removed as there are no consumers of this recipe in
|
|
:oe_git:`openembedded-core </openembedded-core>` or :oe_git:`meta-openembedded </meta-openembedded>`.
|
|
|
|
Removed classes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following classes have been removed in this release:
|
|
|
|
- ``migrate_localcount.bbclass``: obsolete class for which code was already
|
|
removed in 2012.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- :term:`ZSTD_COMPRESSION_LEVEL` is now a plain integer number instead of a dash-prefixed
|
|
command-line option (e.g. it should be set to ``3`` rather than ``-3``).
