5476 <para>
5477 The following are auto-packaging changes to Python and Python 3:
5478 </para>
5479 <para>
5480 The script-managed <filename>python-*-manifest.inc</filename> files
5481 that were previously used to generate Python and Python 3
5482 packages have been replaced with a JSON-based file that is
5483 easier to read and maintain.
5484 A new task is available for maintainers of the Python recipes to
5485 update the JSON file when upgrading to new Python versions.
5486 You can now edit the file directly instead of having to edit a
5487 script and run it to update the file.
5488 </para>
5489 <para>
5490 One particular change to note is that the Python recipes no longer
5491 have build-time provides for their packages.
5492 This assumes <filename>python-foo</filename> is one of the packages
5493 provided by the Python recipe.
5494 You can no longer run <filename>bitbake python-foo</filename> or
5495 have a <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink> on
5496 <filename>python-foo</filename>, but doing either of the following
5497 causes the package to work as expected:
5498 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
5499 IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python-foo"
5500 </literallayout>
5501 or
5502 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
5503 RDEPENDS_${PN} = "python-foo"
5504 </literallayout>
5505 The earlier build-time provides behavior was a quirk of the way the
5506 Python manifest file was created.
