-Moving to the Yocto Project 1.8 Release
-=======================================
-
-This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
-Project 1.8 Release from the prior release.
-
-.. _migration-1.8-removed-recipes:
-
-Removed Recipes
----------------
-
-The following recipes have been removed:
-
--  ``owl-video``: Functionality replaced by ``gst-player``.
-
--  ``gaku``: Functionality replaced by ``gst-player``.
-
--  ``gnome-desktop``: This recipe is now available in ``meta-gnome`` and
-   is no longer needed.
-
--  ``gsettings-desktop-schemas``: This recipe is now available in
-   ``meta-gnome`` and is no longer needed.
-
--  ``python-argparse``: The ``argparse`` module is already provided in
-   the default Python distribution in a package named
-   ``python-argparse``. Consequently, the separate ``python-argparse``
-   recipe is no longer needed.
-
--  ``telepathy-python, libtelepathy, telepathy-glib, telepathy-idle, telepathy-mission-control``:
-   All these recipes have moved to ``meta-oe`` and are consequently no
-   longer needed by any recipes in OpenEmbedded-Core.
-
--  ``linux-yocto_3.10`` and ``linux-yocto_3.17``: Support for the
-   linux-yocto 3.10 and 3.17 kernels has been dropped. Support for the
-   3.14 kernel remains, while support for 3.19 kernel has been added.
-
--  ``poky-feed-config-opkg``: This recipe has become obsolete and is no
-   longer needed. Use ``distro-feed-config`` from ``meta-oe`` instead.
-
--  ``libav 0.8.x``: ``libav 9.x`` is now used.
-
--  ``sed-native``: No longer needed. A working version of ``sed`` is
-   expected to be provided by the host distribution.
-
-.. _migration-1.8-bluez:
-
-BlueZ 4.x / 5.x Selection
--------------------------
-
-Proper built-in support for selecting BlueZ 5.x in preference to the
-default of 4.x now exists. To use BlueZ 5.x, simply add "bluez5" to your
-:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` value. If you had
-previously added append files (``*.bbappend``) to make this selection,
-you can now remove them.
-
-Additionally, a ``bluetooth`` class has been added to make selection of
-the appropriate bluetooth support within a recipe a little easier. If
-you wish to make use of this class in a recipe, add something such as
-the following: ::
-
-   inherit bluetooth
-   PACKAGECONFIG ??= "${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'bluetooth', '${BLUEZ}', '', d)}"
-   PACKAGECONFIG[bluez4] = "--enable-bluetooth,--disable-bluetooth,bluez4"
-   PACKAGECONFIG[bluez5] = "--enable-bluez5,--disable-bluez5,bluez5"
-
-.. _migration-1.8-kernel-build-changes:
-
-Kernel Build Changes
---------------------
-
-The kernel build process was changed to place the source in a common
-shared work area and to place build artifacts separately in the source
-code tree. In theory, migration paths have been provided for most common
-usages in kernel recipes but this might not work in all cases. In
-particular, users need to ensure that ``${S}`` (source files) and
-``${B}`` (build artifacts) are used correctly in functions such as
-:ref:`ref-tasks-configure` and
-:ref:`ref-tasks-install`. For kernel recipes that do not
-inherit from ``kernel-yocto`` or include ``linux-yocto.inc``, you might
-wish to refer to the ``linux.inc`` file in the ``meta-oe`` layer for the
-kinds of changes you need to make. For reference, here is the
-:oe_git:`commit </meta-openembedded/commit/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc?id=fc7132ede27ac67669448d3d2845ce7d46c6a1ee>`
-where the ``linux.inc`` file in ``meta-oe`` was updated.
-
-Recipes that rely on the kernel source code and do not inherit the
-module classes might need to add explicit dependencies on the
-``do_shared_workdir`` kernel task, for example: ::
-
-   do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_shared_workdir"
-
-.. _migration-1.8-ssl:
-
-SSL 3.0 is Now Disabled in OpenSSL
-----------------------------------
-
-SSL 3.0 is now disabled when building OpenSSL. Disabling SSL 3.0 avoids
-any lingering instances of the POODLE vulnerability. If you feel you
-must re-enable SSL 3.0, then you can add an append file (``*.bbappend``)
-for the ``openssl`` recipe to remove "-no-ssl3" from
-:term:`EXTRA_OECONF`.
-
-.. _migration-1.8-default-sysroot-poisoning:
-
-Default Sysroot Poisoning
--------------------------
-
-``gcc's`` default sysroot and include directories are now "poisoned". In
-other words, the sysroot and include directories are being redirected to
-a non-existent location in order to catch when host directories are
-being used due to the correct options not being passed. This poisoning
-applies both to the cross-compiler used within the build and to the
-cross-compiler produced in the SDK.
-
-If this change causes something in the build to fail, it almost
-certainly means the various compiler flags and commands are not being
-passed correctly to the underlying piece of software. In such cases, you
-need to take corrective steps.
-
-.. _migration-1.8-rebuild-improvements:
-
-Rebuild Improvements
---------------------
-
-Changes have been made to the :ref:`base <ref-classes-base>`,
-:ref:`autotools <ref-classes-autotools>`, and
-:ref:`cmake <ref-classes-cmake>` classes to clean out generated files
-when the :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` task needs to be
-re-executed.
-
-One of the improvements is to attempt to run "make clean" during the
-``do_configure`` task if a ``Makefile`` exists. Some software packages
-do not provide a working clean target within their make files. If you
-have such recipes, you need to set
-:term:`CLEANBROKEN` to "1" within the recipe, for example: ::
-
-   CLEANBROKEN = "1"
-
-.. _migration-1.8-qa-check-and-validation-changes:
-
-QA Check and Validation Changes
--------------------------------
-
-The following QA Check and Validation Changes have occurred:
-
--  Usage of ``PRINC`` previously triggered a warning. It now triggers an
-   error. You should remove any remaining usage of ``PRINC`` in any
-   recipe or append file.
-
--  An additional QA check has been added to detect usage of ``${D}`` in
-   :term:`FILES` values where :term:`D` values
-   should not be used at all. The same check ensures that ``$D`` is used
-   in ``pkg_preinst/pkg_postinst/pkg_prerm/pkg_postrm`` functions
-   instead of ``${D}``.
-
--  :term:`S` now needs to be set to a valid value within a
-   recipe. If ``S`` is not set in the recipe, the directory is not
-   automatically created. If ``S`` does not point to a directory that
-   exists at the time the :ref:`ref-tasks-unpack` task
-   finishes, a warning will be shown.
-
--  :term:`LICENSE` is now validated for correct
-   formatting of multiple licenses. If the format is invalid (e.g.
-   multiple licenses are specified with no operators to specify how the
-   multiple licenses interact), then a warning will be shown.
-
-.. _migration-1.8-miscellaneous-changes:
-
-Miscellaneous Changes
----------------------
-
-The following miscellaneous changes have occurred:
-
--  The ``send-error-report`` script now expects a "-s" option to be
-   specified before the server address. This assumes a server address is
-   being specified.
-
--  The ``oe-pkgdata-util`` script now expects a "-p" option to be
-   specified before the ``pkgdata`` directory, which is now optional. If
-   the ``pkgdata`` directory is not specified, the script will run
-   BitBake to query :term:`PKGDATA_DIR` from the
-   build environment.
