<title>Migrating to a Newer Yocto Project Release</title>

    <para>
        This chapter provides information you can use to migrate work to a
        newer Yocto Project release.  You can find the same information in the
        release notes for a given release.
    </para>

<section id='general-migration-considerations'>
    <title>General Migration Considerations</title>

    <para>
        Some considerations are not tied to a specific Yocto Project
        release.
        This section presents information you should consider when
        migrating to any new Yocto Project release.
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para><emphasis>Dealing with Customized Recipes</emphasis>:
                Issues could arise if you take older recipes that contain
                customizations and simply copy them forward expecting them
                to work after you migrate to new Yocto Project metadata.
                For example, suppose you have a recipe in your layer that is
                a customized version of a core recipe copied from the earlier
                release, rather than through the use of an append file.
                When you migrate to a newer version of Yocto Project, the
                metadata (e.g. perhaps an include file used by the recipe)
                could have changed in a way that would break the build.
                Say, for example, a function is removed from an include file
                and the customized recipe tries to call that function.
                </para>

                <para>You could "forward-port" all your customizations in your
                recipe so that everything works for the new release.
                However, this is not the optimal solution as you would have
                to repeat this process with each new release if changes
                occur that give rise to problems.</para>

                <para>The better solution (where practical) is to use append
                files (<filename>*.bbappend</filename>) to capture any
                customizations you want to make to a recipe.
                Doing so, isolates your changes from the main recipe making
                them much more manageable.
                However, sometimes it is not practical to use an append
                file.
                A good example of this is when introducing a newer or older
                version of a recipe in another layer.</para>
                </listitem>
            <listitem><para><emphasis>Updating Append Files</emphasis>:
                Since append files generally only contain your customizations,
                they often do not need to be adjusted for new releases.
                However, if the <filename>.bbappend</filename> file is
                specific to a particular version of the recipe (i.e. its
                name does not use the % wildcard) and the version of the
                recipe to which it is appending has changed, then you will
                at a minimum need to rename the append file to match the
                name of the recipe file.
                A mismatch between an append file and its corresponding
                recipe file (<filename>.bb</filename>) will
                trigger an error during parsing.</para>
                <para>Depending on the type of customization the append file
                applies, other incompatibilities might occur when you
                upgrade.
                For example, if your append file applies a patch and the
                recipe to which it is appending is updated to a newer
                version, the patch might no longer apply.
                If this is the case and assuming the patch is still needed,
                you must modify the patch file so that it does apply.

    <title>Moving to the Yocto Project 1.3 Release</title>

    <para>
        This section provides migration information for moving to the
        Yocto Project 1.3 Release from the prior release.
    </para>

    <section id='1.3-local-configuration'>
        <title>Local Configuration</title>

        <para>
            Differences include changes for
            <link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>
            and <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>.
        </para>

        <section id='migration-1.3-sstate-mirrors'>
            <title>SSTATE_MIRRORS</title>

            <para>
                The shared state cache (sstate-cache), as pointed to by
                <link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link>,
                by default now has two-character subdirectories to prevent
                issues arising from too many files in the same directory.
                Also, native sstate-cache packages, which are built to run
                on the host system, will go into a subdirectory named using
                the distro ID string.
                If you copy the newly structured sstate-cache to a mirror
                location (either local or remote) and then point to it in
                <link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>,
                you need to append "PATH" to the end of the mirror URL so that
                the path used by BitBake before the mirror substitution is
                appended to the path used to access the mirror.
                Here is an example:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://<replaceable>someserver</replaceable>.tld/share/sstate/PATH"
                </literallayout>
            </para>

        <section id='migration-1.3-bblayers-conf'>
            <title>bblayers.conf</title>

            <para>
                The <filename>meta-yocto</filename> layer consists of two parts
                that correspond to the Poky reference distribution and the
                reference hardware Board Support Packages (BSPs), respectively:
                <filename>meta-yocto</filename> and
                <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename>.
                When running BitBake for the first time after upgrading,
                your <filename>conf/bblayers.conf</filename> file will be
                updated to handle this change and you will be asked to
                re-run or restart for the changes to take effect.
            </para>

        </para>

        <section id='migration-1.3-python-function-whitespace'>
            <title>Python Function Whitespace</title>

            <para>
                All Python functions must now use four spaces for indentation.
                Previously, an inconsistent mix of spaces and tabs existed,
                which made extending these functions using
                <filename>_append</filename> or <filename>_prepend</filename>
                complicated given that Python treats whitespace as
                syntactically significant.
                If you are defining or extending any Python functions (e.g.
                <filename>populate_packages</filename>, <filename>do_unpack</filename>,
                <filename>do_patch</filename> and so forth) in custom recipes
                or classes, you need to ensure you are using consistent
                four-space indentation.
            </para>
        </section>

        <section id='migration-1.3-proto=-in-src-uri'>
            <title>proto= in SRC_URI</title>

            <para>
                Any use of <filename>proto=</filename> in
                <link linkend='var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>
                needs to be changed to <filename>protocol=</filename>.
                In particular, this applies to the following URIs:
                <itemizedlist>
                    <listitem><para><filename>svn://</filename></para></listitem>
                    <listitem><para><filename>bzr://</filename></para></listitem>

                    <listitem><para><filename>osc://</filename></para></listitem>
                </itemizedlist>
                Other URIs were already using <filename>protocol=</filename>.
                This change improves consistency.

        </section>

        <section id='migration-1.3-nativesdk'>
            <title>nativesdk</title>

            <para>
                The suffix <filename>nativesdk</filename> is now implemented
                as a prefix, which simplifies a lot of the packaging code for
                <filename>nativesdk</filename> recipes.
                All custom <filename>nativesdk</filename> recipes, which are
                relocatable packages that are native to
                <link linkend='var-SDK_ARCH'><filename>SDK_ARCH</filename></link>,
                and any references need to be updated to use
                <filename>nativesdk-*</filename> instead of
                <filename>*-nativesdk</filename>.
            </para>
        </section>

        <section id='migration-1.3-task-recipes'>
            <title>Task Recipes</title>

            <para>
                "Task" recipes are now known as "Package groups" and have
                been renamed from <filename>task-*.bb</filename> to
                <filename>packagegroup-*.bb</filename>.
                Existing references to the previous <filename>task-*</filename>
                names should work in most cases as there is an automatic
                upgrade path for most packages.
                However, you should update references in your own recipes and
                configurations as they could be removed in future releases.
                You should also rename any custom <filename>task-*</filename>
                recipes to <filename>packagegroup-*</filename>, and change
                them to inherit <filename>packagegroup</filename> instead of
                <filename>task</filename>, as well as taking the opportunity
                to remove anything now handled by
                <filename>packagegroup.bbclass</filename>, such as providing
                <filename>-dev</filename> and <filename>-dbg</filename>
                packages, setting
                <link linkend='var-LIC_FILES_CHKSUM'><filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename></link>,
                and so forth.
                See the
                "<link linkend='ref-classes-packagegroup'><filename>packagegroup.bbclass</filename></link>"
                section for further details.

        <section id='migration-1.3-image-features'>
            <title>IMAGE_FEATURES</title>

            <para>
                Image recipes that previously included "apps-console-core"
                in <link linkend='var-IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></link>
                should now include "splash" instead to enable the boot-up
                splash screen.
                Retaining "apps-console-core" will still include the splash
                screen but generates a warning.
                The "apps-x11-core" and "apps-x11-games"
                <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> features have been removed.

                The following recipes have been removed.

                had become obsolete or broken.
                Additionally, these recipes were not parsed in the default configuration.
                Many of these recipes are already provided in an updated and

        <para>
            The naming scheme for kernel output binaries has been changed to
            now include
            <link linkend='var-PE'><filename>PE</filename></link> as part of the

            Because the <filename>PE</filename> variable is not set by default,
            these binary files could result with names that include two dash

                    The shared state code has been optimized to avoid running
                    unnecessary tasks.
                    For example, the following no longer populates the target

                    Instead, the system just needs to extract the output
                    package contents, re-create the packages, and construct
                    the root filesystem.
                    This change is unlikely to cause any problems unless

                    <filename>FILESOVERRIDES</filename> as well.
                    However, if you relied upon an additional value

                    you might now need to add it to

        <title>QA Warnings</title>

        <para>
            The following changes have been made to the package QA checks:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    If you have customized
                    <link linkend='var-ERROR_QA'><filename>ERROR_QA</filename></link>
                    or <link linkend='var-WARN_QA'><filename>WARN_QA</filename></link>
                    values in your configuration, check that they contain all of
                    the issues that you wish to be reported.
                    Previous Yocto Project versions contained a bug that meant
                    that any item not mentioned in <filename>ERROR_QA</filename>
                    or <filename>WARN_QA</filename> would be treated as a
                    warning.
                    Consequently, several important items were not already in
                    the default value of <filename>WARN_QA</filename>.
                    All of the possible QA checks are now documented in the
                    "<link linkend='ref-classes-insane'><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></link>"

                    Your recipe should delete this file within
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></link>

                    If you are using the buildhistory class, the check for the
                    package version going backwards is now controlled using a
                    standard QA check.
                    Thus, if you have customized your
                    <filename>ERROR_QA</filename> or
                    <filename>WARN_QA</filename> values and still wish to have
                    this check performed, you should add
                    "version-going-backwards" to your value for one or the
                    other variables depending on how you wish it to be handled.

                    directory containing output files for multiple machines.
                    The

                    this directory.
                    The <filename>runqemu</filename> script now uses this
                    variable to find images and kernel binaries and will use
                    BitBake to determine the directory.
                    Alternatively, you can set the
                    <filename>DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE</filename> variable in the

                    Doing so makes it easier to delete
                    <filename>TMPDIR</filename> and preserve the build history.
                    Additionally, data for produced SDKs is now split by

            for improved usability in path and file names.
            This change should be safe within contexts where these revisions
            are used because the chances of spatially close collisions
            is very low.
            Distant collisions are not a major issue in the way

            The <filename>/run</filename> directory from the Filesystem
            Hierarchy Standard 3.0 has been introduced.
            You can find some of the implications for this change

            The change also means that recipes that install files to
            <filename>/var/run</filename> must be changed.

            options to enable various optional features.
            The method used to set defaults for these options means that
            existing

            modified to append to <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> for

            <filename>nativesdk-qemu</filename> instead of setting it.
            In other words, to enable graphical output for QEMU, you should

                    The <filename>autotools</filename> class has been changed
                    to use a directory for building
                    (<link linkend='var-B'><filename>B</filename></link>),
                    which is separate from the source directory
                    (<link linkend='var-S'><filename>S</filename></link>).
                    This is commonly referred to as

                    However, if the software is not capable of being built

                    need to either patch the software so that it can build

                    running <filename>autoconf</filename>:</emphasis>
                    This option tells <filename>automake</filename> that a
                    particular software package does not follow the GNU
                    standards and therefore should not be expected

                    <filename>AUTHORS</filename>, and so forth.
                    Because the majority of upstream software packages already
                    tell <filename>automake</filename> to enable foreign mode
                    themselves, the option is mostly superfluous.
                    However, some recipes will need patches for this change.
                    You can easily make the change by patching
                    <filename>configure.ac</filename> so that it passes

        <title>Binary Configuration Scripts Disabled</title>

        <para>
            Some of the core recipes that package binary configuration scripts
            now disable the scripts due to the
            scripts previously requiring error-prone path substitution.
            Software that links against these libraries using these scripts
            should use the much more robust <filename>pkg-config</filename>
            instead.
            The list of recipes changed in this version (and their
            configuration scripts) is as follows:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     directfb (directfb-config)
     freetype (freetype-config)
     gpgme (gpgme-config)

     libcroco (croco-6.0-config)
     libgcrypt (libgcrypt-config)
     libgpg-error (gpg-error-config)
     libksba (ksba-config)
     libpcap (pcap-config)
     libpcre (pcre-config)
     libpng (libpng-config, libpng16-config)
     libsdl (sdl-config)
     libusb-compat (libusb-config)

     pth (pth-config)
     taglib (taglib-config)
            </literallayout>
            Additionally, support for <filename>pkg-config</filename> has been
            added to some recipes in the previous list in the rare cases
            where the upstream software package does not already provide
            it.

        <para>
            Because <filename>eglibc</filename> and
            <filename>glibc</filename> were already fairly close, this
            replacement should not require any significant changes to other

            However, there were a number of minor changes in
            <filename>glibc 2.20</filename> upstream that could require
            patching some software (e.g. the removal of the
            <filename>_BSD_SOURCE</filename> feature test macro).
        </para>

        <para>
            <filename>glibc 2.20</filename> requires version 2.6.32 or greater
            of the Linux kernel.
            Thus, older kernels will no longer be usable in conjunction with it.

            The
            <link linkend='var-module_autoload'><filename>module_autoload_*</filename></link>

            <link linkend='var-KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD'><filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename></link>
            variable should be used instead.
            Also,
            <link linkend='var-module_conf'><filename>module_conf_*</filename></link>

            <link linkend='var-KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF'><filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename></link>
            variable.
            The new variables no longer require you to specify the module name
            as part of the variable name.
            This change not only simplifies usage but also allows the values
            of these variables to be appropriately incorporated into task
            signatures and thus trigger the appropriate tasks to re-execute
            when changed.
            You should replace any references to
            <filename>module_autoload_*</filename> with
            <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename>, and add any modules
            for which <filename>module_conf_*</filename> is specified to

        <title>Kernel Build Changes</title>

        <para>
            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
            <filename>${S}</filename> (source files) and
            <filename>${B}</filename> (build artifacts) are used
            correctly in functions such as
            <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
            and
            <link linkend='ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></link>.
            For kernel recipes that do not inherit from
            <filename>kernel-yocto</filename> or include
            <filename>linux-yocto.inc</filename>, you might wish to
            refer to the <filename>linux.inc</filename> file in the
            <filename>meta-oe</filename> layer for the kinds of changes you
            need to make.
            For reference, here is the
            <ulink url='http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.inc?id=fc7132ede27ac67669448d3d2845ce7d46c6a1ee'>commit</ulink>

        <para>
            Recipes that rely on the kernel source code and do not inherit
            the module classes might need to add explicit dependencies on
            the <filename>do_shared_workdir</filename> kernel task, for example:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

        <para>
            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 (<filename>*.bbappend</filename>) for the
            <filename>openssl</filename> recipe to remove "-no-ssl3"

            <filename>gcc's</filename> 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.
        </para>

        <para>
            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.

            Some software packages do not provide a working clean target

            One important example is a fix for when the Linux kernel freezes at

        <title>BitBake datastore improvements</title>

        <para>
            The method by which BitBake's datastore handles overrides has
            changed.
            Overrides are now applied dynamically and
            <filename>bb.data.update_data()</filename> is now a no-op.
            Thus, <filename>bb.data.update_data()</filename> is no longer
            required in order to apply the correct overrides.
            In practice, this change is unlikely to require any changes to
            Metadata.
            However, these minor changes in behavior exist:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    All potential overrides are now visible in the variable
                    history as seen when you run the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake -e
                    </literallayout>

                    <filename>d.setVar('</filename><replaceable>VARNAME</replaceable><filename>', None)</filename>
                    result in the variable and all of its overrides being
                    cleared out.
                    Before the change, only the non-overridden values
                    were cleared.

        <title>Shell Message Function Changes</title>

        <para>
            The shell versions of the BitBake message functions (i.e.
            <filename>bbdebug</filename>, <filename>bbnote</filename>,
            <filename>bbwarn</filename>, <filename>bbplain</filename>,
            <filename>bberror</filename>, and <filename>bbfatal</filename>)
            are now connected through to their BitBake equivalents
            <filename>bb.debug()</filename>, <filename>bb.note()</filename>,
            <filename>bb.warn()</filename>, <filename>bb.plain()</filename>,
            <filename>bb.error()</filename>, and
            <filename>bb.fatal()</filename>, respectively.
            Thus, those message functions that you would expect to be printed
            by the BitBake UI are now actually printed.
            In practice, this change means two things:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    If you now see messages on the console that you did not
                    previously see as a result of this change, you might
                    need to clean up the calls to
                    <filename>bbwarn</filename>, <filename>bberror</filename>,
                    and so forth.

                    The <filename>bbfatal</filename> message function now

                    calls to <filename>bbfatal</filename> where you still

            sysroot as well as removed from
            any other place managed by shared state.
            This automatic cleanup means that the build system now properly

        <para>
            The <filename>linux-yocto</filename> tree has up to now been a
            combined set of kernel changes and configuration (meta) data
            carried in a single tree.
            While this format is effective at keeping kernel configuration and
            source modifications synchronized, it is not always obvious to
            developers how to manipulate the Metadata as compared to the
            source.
        </para>

        <para>
            Metadata processing has now been removed from the
            <link linkend='ref-classes-kernel-yocto'><filename>kernel-yocto</filename></link>
            class and the external Metadata repository
            <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>, which has always been used
            to seed the <filename>linux-yocto</filename> "meta" branch.
            This separate <filename>linux-yocto</filename> cache repository
            is now the primary location for this data.
            Due to this change, <filename>linux-yocto</filename> is no longer
            able to process combined trees.
            Thus, if you need to have your own combined kernel repository,
            you must do the split there as well and update your recipes
            accordingly.

            no longer expand automatically within Python functions.
            Suppressing expansion was done to allow Python functions to
            construct shell scripts or other code for situations in which you
            do not want such expressions expanded.
            For any existing code that relies on these expansions, you need to
            change the expansions to expand the value of individual
            variables through <filename>d.getVar()</filename>.

        <title>Overrides Must Now be Lower-Case</title>

        <para>
            The convention for overrides has always been for them to be
            lower-case characters.
            This practice is now a requirement as BitBake's datastore now
            assumes lower-case characters in order to give a slight performance
            boost during parsing.
            In practical terms, this requirement means that anything that ends
            up in
            <link linkend='var-OVERRIDES'><filename>OVERRIDES</filename></link>
            must now appear in lower-case characters (e.g. values for
            <filename>MACHINE</filename>, <filename>TARGET_ARCH</filename>,
            <filename>DISTRO</filename>, and also recipe names if
            <filename>_pn-</filename><replaceable>recipename</replaceable>
            overrides are to be effective).

        <title>Expand Parameter to <filename>getVar()</filename> and

        <para>
            The expand parameter to <filename>getVar()</filename> and
            <filename>getVarFlag()</filename> previously defaulted to
            False if not specified.
            Now, however, no default exists so one must be specified.
            You must change any <filename>getVar()</filename> calls that
            do not specify the final expand parameter to calls that do specify
            the parameter.
            You can run the following <filename>sed</filename> command at the
            base of a layer to make this change:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     sed -e 's:\(\.getVar([^,()]*\)):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *`
     sed -e 's:\(\.getVarFlag([^,()]*, [^,()]*\)):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVarFlag *`
            </literallayout>
            <note>
                The reason for this change is that it prepares the way for
                changing the default to True in a future Yocto Project release.
                This future change is a much more sensible default than False.
                However, the change needs to be made gradually as a sudden
                change of the default would potentially cause side-effects
                that would be difficult to detect.

            Setting <filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename> to "-e MAKEFLAGS=" by

            (e.g. <filename>autotools</filename>, <filename>module</filename>)
            and recipes to override this default in order to work with
            sensible build systems.
            When upgrading to the release, you must edit any recipe that
            relies upon this old default by either setting
            <filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename> back to "-e MAKEFLAGS=" or by
            explicitly setting any required variable value overrides using
            <filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename>, which is typically only needed
            when a Makefile sets a default value for a variable that is

            than the "?=" operator.

        <title><filename>libexecdir</filename> Reverted to <filename>${prefix}/libexec</filename></title>

        <para>
            The use of <filename>${libdir}/${BPN}</filename> as
            <filename>libexecdir</filename> is different as compared to all
            other mainstream distributions, which either uses
            <filename>${prefix}/libexec</filename> or
            <filename>${libdir}</filename>.
            The use is also contrary to the GNU Coding Standards
            (i.e. <ulink url='https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html'></ulink>)
            that suggest <filename>${prefix}/libexec</filename> and also
            notes that any package-specific nesting should be done by the
            package itself.
            Finally, having <filename>libexecdir</filename> change between
            recipes makes it very difficult for different recipes to invoke
            binaries that have been installed into
            <filename>libexecdir</filename>.
            The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
            (i.e. <ulink url='http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s07.html'></ulink>)
            now recognizes the use of <filename>${prefix}/libexec/</filename>,
            giving distributions the choice between
            <filename>${prefix}/lib</filename> or
            <filename>${prefix}/libexec</filename> without breaking FHS.

        <title><filename>ac_cv_sizeof_off_t</filename> is No Longer Cached in Site Files</title>

        <para>
            For recipes inheriting the
            <link linkend='ref-classes-autotools'><filename>autotools</filename></link>
            class, <filename>ac_cv_sizeof_off_t</filename> is no longer cached
            in the site files for <filename>autoconf</filename>.
            The reason for this change is because the
            <filename>ac_cv_sizeof_off_t</filename> value is not necessarily
            static per architecture as was previously assumed.
            Rather, the value changes based on whether large file support is
            enabled.
            For most software that uses <filename>autoconf</filename>, this
            change should not be a problem.
            However, if you have a recipe that bypasses the standard
            <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
            task from the <filename>autotools</filename> class and the software
            the recipe is building uses a very old version of
            <filename>autoconf</filename>, the recipe might be incapable of
            determining the correct size of <filename>off_t</filename> during
            <filename>do_configure</filename>.
        </para>

        <para>
            The best course of action is to patch the software as necessary
            to allow the default implementation from the
            <filename>autotools</filename> class to work such that
            <filename>autoreconf</filename> succeeds and produces a working
            configure script, and to remove the
            overridden <filename>do_configure</filename> task such that the
            default implementation does get used.

            task assembled the filesystem and then from that filesystem
            generated images.
            With this Yocto Project release, image generation is split into
            separate

        </para>

        <para>
            For most cases, this change does not present any problems.
            However, if you have made customizations that directly modify the
            <filename>do_rootfs</filename> task or that mention
            <filename>do_rootfs</filename>, you might need to update those
            changes.
            In particular, if you had added any tasks after
            <filename>do_rootfs</filename>, you should make edits so that
            those tasks are after the
            <link linkend='ref-tasks-image-complete'><filename>do_image_complete</filename></link>
            task rather than after <filename>do_rootfs</filename>

            run at the correct time.

        <para>
            A minor part of this restructuring is that the post-processing

            <para>
                A UTF-8 locale is required on the build host due to Python 3.
                Since C.UTF-8 is not a standard, the default is en_US.UTF-8.

            <para>
                Most target Python recipes have now been switched to Python 3.
                Unfortunately, systems using RPM as a package manager and
                providing online package-manager support through SMART still
                require Python 2.
                <note>
                    Python 2 and recipes that use it can still be built for the
                    target as with previous versions.

        <title><filename>runqemu</filename> Ported to Python</title>

        <para>
            <filename>runqemu</filename> has been ported to Python and has
            changed behavior in some cases.
            Previous usage patterns continue to be supported.
        </para>

        <para>
            The new <filename>runqemu</filename> is a Python script.
            Machine knowledge is no longer hardcoded into
            <filename>runqemu</filename>.
            You can choose to use the <filename>qemuboot</filename>
            configuration file to define the BSP's own arguments and to make
            it bootable with <filename>runqemu</filename>.
            If you use a configuration file, use the following form:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     <replaceable>image-name</replaceable>-<replaceable>machine</replaceable>.qemuboot.conf
            </literallayout>
            The configuration file enables fine-grained tuning of options
            passed to QEMU without the <filename>runqemu</filename> script
            hard-coding any knowledge about different machines.
            Using a configuration file is particularly convenient when trying
            to use QEMU with machines other than the
            <filename>qemu*</filename> machines in
            <link linkend='oe-core'>OE-Core</link>.
            The <filename>qemuboot.conf</filename> file is generated by the
            <filename>qemuboot</filename>
            class when the root filesystem is being build (i.e.
            build rootfs).
            QEMU boot arguments can be set in BSP's configuration file and
            the <filename>qemuboot</filename> class will save them to
            <filename>qemuboot.conf</filename>.
        </para>


        <para>
            If you want to use <filename>runqemu</filename> without a
            configuration file, use the following command form:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ runqemu <replaceable>machine</replaceable> <replaceable>rootfs</replaceable> <replaceable>kernel</replaceable> [<replaceable>options</replaceable>]

            Consider the following example, which uses the
            <filename>qemux86-64</filename> machine,
            provides a root filesystem, provides an image, and uses

        <title>Default Linker Hash Style Changed</title>

        <para>
            The default linker hash style for <filename>gcc-cross</filename>
            is now "sysv" in order to catch recipes that are building software
            without using the OpenEmbedded
            <link linkend='var-LDFLAGS'><filename>LDFLAGS</filename></link>.
            This change could result in seeing some "No GNU_HASH in the elf
            binary" QA issues when building such recipes.
            You need to fix these recipes so that they use the expected
            <filename>LDFLAGS</filename>.
            Depending on how the software is built, the build system used by
            the software (e.g. a Makefile) might need to be patched.
            However, sometimes making this fix is as simple as adding the
            following to the recipe:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     TARGET_CC_ARCH += "${LDFLAGS}"

        <para>
            The
            <filename>KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME</filename>
            variable no longer uses the
            <link linkend='var-KERNEL_IMAGETYPE'><filename>KERNEL_IMAGETYPE</filename></link>
            variable to create the image's base name.
            Because the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple kernel
            image types, this part of the kernel image base name as been
            removed leaving only the following:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${PKGE}-${PKGV}-${PKGR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}

            If you have recipes or classes that use
            <filename>KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME</filename> directly, you might
            need to update the references to ensure they continue to work.

        <title>Recipe-specific Sysroots</title>

        <para>
            The OpenEmbedded build system now uses one sysroot per
            recipe to resolve long-standing issues with configuration
            script auto-detection of undeclared dependencies.
            Consequently, you might find that some of your previously
            written custom recipes are missing declared dependencies,
            particularly those dependencies that are incidentally built
            earlier in a typical build process and thus are already likely
            to be present in the shared sysroot in previous releases.
        </para>

        <para>
            Consider the following:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    <emphasis>Declare Build-Time Dependencies:</emphasis>
                    Because of this new feature, you must explicitly
                    declare all build-time dependencies for your recipe.
                    If you do not declare these dependencies, they are not
                    populated into the sysroot for the recipe.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    <emphasis>Specify Pre-Installation and Post-Installation
                    Native Tool Dependencies:</emphasis>
                    You must specifically specify any special native tool
                    dependencies of <filename>pkg_preinst</filename> and
                    <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> scripts by using the
                    <link linkend='var-PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS'><filename>PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS</filename></link>
                    variable.
                    Specifying these dependencies ensures that these tools
                    are available if these scripts need to be run on the
                    build host during the
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></link>
                    task.</para>

                    <para>As an example, see the <filename>dbus</filename>
                    recipe.
                    You will see that this recipe has a
                    <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> that calls
                    <filename>systemctl</filename> if "systemd" is in
                    <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>.
                    In the example,
                    <filename>systemd-systemctl-native</filename> is added to
                    <filename>PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS</filename>, which is also
                    conditional on "systemd" being in
                    <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename>.

                    <emphasis>Examine Recipes that Use
                    <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename>:</emphasis>
                    You need to examine any recipe that uses
                    <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> and determine
                    steps to take.</para>

                    <para>Functions added to
                    <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> are still
                    called as they were in previous Yocto Project releases.
                    However, since a separate sysroot is now being populated
                    for every recipe and if existing functions being called
                    through <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> are
                    doing relocation, then you will need to change these
                    to use a post-installation script that is installed by a
                    function added to
                    <link linkend='var-SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS'><filename>SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS</filename></link>.
                    </para>

                    <para>For an example, see the
                    <filename>pixbufcache</filename> class in
                    <filename>meta/classes/</filename> in the Yocto Project

                    <note>
                        The <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> variable
                        itself is now deprecated in favor of the
                        <filename>do_populate_sysroot[postfuncs]</filename>
                        task.
                        Consequently, if you do still have any function or
                        functions that need to be called after the sysroot
                        component is created for a recipe, then you would be
                        well advised to take steps to use a post installation
                        script as described previously.
                        Taking these steps prepares your code for when
                        <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> is
                        removed in a future Yocto Project release.

        <title><filename>PATH</filename> Variable</title>

        <para>
            Within the environment used to run build tasks, the environment
            variable <filename>PATH</filename> is now sanitized such that
            the normal native binary paths
            (<filename>/bin</filename>, <filename>/sbin</filename>,
            <filename>/usr/bin</filename> and so forth) are
            removed and a directory containing symbolic links linking only
            to the binaries from the host mentioned in the
            <link linkend='var-HOSTTOOLS'><filename>HOSTTOOLS</filename></link>
            and
            <link linkend='var-HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL'><filename>HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL</filename></link>
            variables is added to <filename>PATH</filename>.
        </para>

        <para>
            Consequently, any native binaries provided by the host that you
            need to call needs to be in one of these two variables at
            the configuration level.
        </para>

        <para>
            Alternatively, you can add a native recipe (i.e.
            <filename>-native</filename>) that provides the
            binary to the recipe's
            <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
            value.
            <note>
                <filename>PATH</filename> is not sanitized in the same way
                within <filename>devshell</filename>.
                If it were, you would have difficulty running host tools for
                development and debugging within the shell.

                    The SVN fetcher now takes an "ssh" parameter instead of an

                    This new optional parameter is used when the "protocol"

                    The SVN fetcher passes the new parameter through the

        <para>
            Absolute symbolic links (symlinks) within staged files are no

            Any explicit creation of symlinks can use the

        <para>
            If the build scripts in the software that the recipe is building
            are creating a number of absolute symlinks that need to be
            corrected, you can inherit
            <filename>relative_symlinks</filename> within the recipe to turn
            those absolute symlinks into relative symlinks.

            Older GPLv2 versions of GPLv3 recipes have moved to a

            If you use

            <link linkend='var-PREFERRED_VERSION'><filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename></link>
            to substitute a GPLv2 version of a GPLv3 recipe, then you must add
            the <filename>meta-gplv2</filename> layer to your configuration.
            <note>
                You can find <filename>meta-gplv2</filename> layer in the
                OpenEmbedded layer index at

            </note>
        </para>

        <para>
            These relocated GPLv2 recipes do not receive the same level of
            maintenance as other core recipes.
            The recipes do not get security fixes and upstream no longer
            maintains them.
            In fact, the upstream community is actively hostile towards people
            that use the old versions of the recipes.
            Moving these recipes into a separate layer both makes the different
            needs of the recipes clearer and clearly identifies the number of
            these recipes.
            <note>
                The long-term solution might be to move to BSD-licensed
                replacements of the GPLv3 components for those that need to
                exclude GPLv3-licensed components from the target system.
                This solution will be investigated for future Yocto
                Project releases.

                    OPKG now uses the libsolv backend for resolving package
                    dependencies by default.
                    This is vastly superior to OPKG's internal ad-hoc solver
                    that was previously used.
                    This change does have a small impact on disk (around

                    QA check, which was disabled by default, has now been
                    removed.
                    This check was intended to detect binaries in

                    <filename>/usr/lib</filename> and have the case where

                    a rare configuration.
                    Consequently,

                    removed.

                    Because it is an error instead of a warning, you need to

        <title>Memory Resident Mode</title>

        <para>
            A persistent mode is now available in BitBake's default operation,
            replacing its previous "memory resident mode" (i.e.
            <filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename>).
            Now you only need to set
            <link linkend='var-BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT'><filename>BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT</filename></link>
            to a timeout (in seconds) and BitBake's server stays resident for
            that amount of time between invocations.
            The <filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename> script has been
            removed since a separate environment setup script is no longer
            needed.

                            The main "python3" package now brings in all of the

                            This behavior matches what is expected based on
                            traditional Linux distributions.
                            If you wish to install a subset of Python 3, specify
                            <filename>python-core</filename> plus one or more of
                            the individual packages that are still produced.

                    This packaging saves space when certain tools
                    (e.g. <filename>perf</filename>) are installed.

        <title>Kernel Device Tree Move</title>

        <para>
            Kernel Device Tree support is now easier to enable in a kernel
            recipe.
            The Device Tree code has moved to a
            <link linkend='ref-classes-kernel-devicetree'><filename>kernel-devicetree</filename></link>
            class.
            Functionality is automatically enabled for any recipe that inherits
            the
            <link linkend='ref-classes-kernel'><filename>kernel</filename></link>
            class and sets the
            <link linkend='var-KERNEL_DEVICETREE'><filename>KERNEL_DEVICETREE</filename></link>
            variable.
            The previous mechanism for doing this,
            <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dtb.inc</filename>,
            is still available to avoid breakage, but triggers a
            deprecation warning.
            Future releases of the Yocto Project will remove
            <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dtb.inc</filename>.
            It is advisable to remove any <filename>require</filename>
            statements that request
            <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dtb.inc</filename>
            from any custom kernel recipes you might have.
            This will avoid breakage in post 2.4 releases.

        <para>
            The script-managed <filename>python-*-manifest.inc</filename> files
            that were previously used to generate Python and Python 3
            packages have been replaced with a JSON-based file that is
            easier to read and maintain.
            A new task is available for maintainers of the Python recipes to
            update the JSON file when upgrading to new Python versions.
            You can now edit the file directly instead of having to edit a
            script and run it to update the file.
        </para>
        <para>
            One particular change to note is that the Python recipes no longer
            have build-time provides for their packages.
            This assumes <filename>python-foo</filename> is one of the packages
            provided by the Python recipe.
            You can no longer run <filename>bitbake python-foo</filename> or
            have a <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink> on
            <filename>python-foo</filename>, but doing either of the following
            causes the package to work as expected:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python-foo"
            </literallayout>
            or
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "python-foo"
            </literallayout>
            The earlier build-time provides behavior was a quirk of the way the
            Python manifest file was created.

        <para>
            Previously, it was possible for Python recipes that inherited
            the
            <link linkend='ref-classes-distutils'><filename>distutils</filename></link>
            and

            <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
            task to satisfy dependencies mentioned in
            <filename>setup.py</filename> if those dependencies were not
            provided in the sysroot (i.e. recipes providing the dependencies
            were missing from
            <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>).
            <note>
                This dependency affects classes beyond just the two mentioned
                (i.e. <filename>distutils</filename> and
                <filename>distutils3</filename>).
                Any recipe that inherits <filename>distutils*</filename>
                classes are affected.
                For example, the <filename>setuptools</filename> and
                <filename>setuptools3</filename> recipes are affected since
                they inherit the <filename>distutils*</filename> classes.

            Fetching these types of dependencies that are not provided in the
            sysroot negatively affects the ability to reproduce builds.
            This type of fetching is now explicitly disabled.
            Consequently, any missing dependencies in Python recipes that
            use these classes now result in an error during the

                    The <filename>forcevariable</filename> override is
                    documented to be the highest priority override.
                    However, due to a long-standing quirk of how

                    Dropping the override avoids giving the impression that

            Moving this configuration to a separate recipe avoids the

            Using this optimization requires a little extra build time in

            The following miscellaneous changes occurred:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    Default to using the Thumb-2 instruction set for armv7a
                    and above.
                    If you have any custom recipes that build software that
                    needs to be built with the ARM instruction set, change the
                    recipe to set the instruction set as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ARM_INSTRUCTION_SET = "arm"
                    </literallayout>
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    <filename>run-postinsts</filename> no longer uses
                    <filename>/etc/*-postinsts</filename> for
                    <filename>dpkg/opkg</filename> in favor of built-in
                    postinst support.
                    <note>
                        RPM behavior remains unchanged.
                    </note>

                <listitem><para>
                    The <filename>NOISO</filename> and
                    <filename>NOHDD</filename> variables are no longer used.
                    You now control building <filename>*.iso</filename> and
                    <filename>*.hddimg</filename> image types directly
                    by using the
                    <link linkend='var-IMAGE_FSTYPES'><filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename></link>
                    variable.

                <listitem><para>
                    The <filename>scripts/contrib/mkefidisk.sh</filename>
                    has been removed in favor of Wic.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    <filename>kernel-modules</filename> has been removed from
                    <link linkend='var-RRECOMMENDS'><filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename></link>
                    for <filename>qemumips</filename> and
                    <filename>qemumips64</filename> machines.
                    Removal also impacts the <filename>x86-base.inc</filename>
                    file.
                    <note>
                        <filename>genericx86</filename> and
                        <filename>genericx86-64</filename> retain
                        <filename>kernel-modules</filename> as part of the
                        <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> variable setting.

                <listitem><para>
                    The <filename>LGPLv2_WHITELIST_GPL-3.0</filename>
                    variable has been removed.
                    If you are setting this variable in your configuration,
                    set or append it to the
                    <filename>WHITELIST_GPL-3.0</filename> variable instead.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    <filename>${ASNEEDED}</filename> is now included in
                    the
                    <link linkend='var-TARGET_LDFLAGS'><filename>TARGET_LDFLAGS</filename></link>
                    variable directly.
                    The remaining definitions from
                    <filename>meta/conf/distro/include/as-needed.inc</filename>
                    have been moved to corresponding recipes.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    Support for DSA host keys has been dropped from the
                    OpenSSH recipes.
                    If you are still using DSA keys, you must switch over to a
                    more secure algorithm as recommended by the OpenSSH
                    upstream.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    The <filename>dhcp</filename> recipe now uses the
                    <filename>dhcpd6.conf</filename> configuration file in
                    <filename>dhcpd6.service</filename> for IPv6 DHCP rather
                    than re-using <filename>dhcpd.conf</filename>, which is
                    now reserved for IPv4.
