sanity: default virtualization distro check to false

2026-03-10T13:41:16+00:00

We've terrorized the users of meta-virt for long enough with the warning about the virtualization distro feature not being set. Modern OE has the features_check capability so recipes and functionality that need the distro feature to be set can just check it themselves. No need to warn over and over again. For now, it just default to off, but the check can be completely removed in the future (since it does cause some parse time overhead). Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

vcontainer-tarball: build all architectures via single bitbake command

2026-02-09T03:34:12+00:00

Previously, building vcontainer-tarball required multiple bitbake invocations or complex command lines to build both x86_64 and aarch64 blobs. This was a usability issue. Changes: - mcdepends now triggers builds for BOTH architectures automatically - VCONTAINER_ARCHITECTURES defaults to "x86_64 aarch64" (was auto-detect) - Add informational banner at parse time showing what will be built - Fix duplicate sanity check messages when multiconfig is active Usage is now simply: bitbake vcontainer-tarball To build only one architecture, set in local.conf: VCONTAINER_ARCHITECTURES = "x86_64" Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

vcontainer: add sanity checks and auto-enable virtfs for QEMU

2026-02-09T03:32:52+00:00

Add sanity check that warns when vcontainer distro feature is enabled but BBMULTICONFIG is missing the required vruntime-* multiconfigs. Add qemu-system-native bbappend to auto-enable virtfs (virtio-9p) when vcontainer or virtualization distro feature is set. This is required for the fast batch-import path in container-cross-install.

sanity-meta-virt: Watch for SanityCheck event

2017-10-13T01:59:51+00:00

The ConfigParsed event is raised multiple times during a build which resulted in the sanity warning appearing up to 4 times per build. Instead we should be watching for the SanityCheck event (this is what the sanity checks in oe-core watch for). Signed-off-by: Paul Barker Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

sanity-meta-virt: Make skip variable name layer specific

2017-10-13T01:59:51+00:00

The variable used to skip the sanity check should be named in a layer specific way. This will ensure there is no confusion if other layers use a similar sanity check. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

sanity-meta-virt.bbclass: add class for bbappend files checking

2017-10-02T13:39:26+00:00

Add a new class, sanity-meta-virt.bbclass, to check for whether necessary settings are available for bbappend files in this layer to be effective, and warn users if not. In addition, a variable SKIP_SANITY_BBAPPEND_CHECK is added to enable users to explicitly skip the checking to avoid unwanted warnings. Signed-off-by: Chen Qi Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield
