treewide: bulk update patches with status field

2023-01-27T15:32:06+00:00

While the insane.bbclass upstream-status check hasn't been made default, users of meta-virtualization may have it enabled in their distros .. so the effect is the same. We must have this tracking tag in out patches. This is a bulk update to add the tag and silence the QA message. As packages get updated, the normal/routine process of checking the patches will continue, and the status fields may (or may not) get more useful. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

seabios: Upgrade to 1.16 release

global: update licence values to SPDX values

2022-02-18T18:07:10+00:00

These changes are the result of running the convert-spdx-licenses.py oe-core script. There's no impact to the build, but we will avoid issues when interacting with core QA by the alignment. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

global: overrides syntax conversion

2021-08-02T21:17:53+00:00

OEcore/bitbake are moving to use the clearer ":" as an overrides separator. This is pass one of updating the meta-virt recipes to use that syntax. This has only been minimally build/runtime tested, more changes will be required for missed overrides, or incorrect conversions Note: A recent bitbake is required: commit 75fad23fc06c008a03414a1fc288a8614c6af9ca Author: Richard Purdie Date: Sun Jul 18 12:59:15 2021 +0100 bitbake: data_smart/parse: Allow ':' characters in variable/function names It is becomming increasingly clear we need to find a way to show what is/is not an override in our syntax. We need to do this in a way which is clear to users, readable and in a way we can transition to. The most effective way I've found to this is to use the ":" charater to directly replace "_" where an override is being specified. This includes "append", "prepend" and "remove" which are effectively special override directives. This patch simply adds the character to the parser so bitbake accepts the value but maps it back to "_" internally so there is no behaviour change. This change is simple enough it could potentially be backported to older version of bitbake meaning layers using the new syntax/markup could work with older releases. Even if other no other changes are accepted at this time and we don't backport, it does set us on a path where at some point in future we could require a more explict syntax. I've tested this patch by converting oe-core/meta-yocto to the new syntax for overrides (9000+ changes) and then seeing that builds continue to work with this patch.

iasl: remove iasl in favor of acpica in openembedded-core

2018-10-11T18:17:39+00:00

It is out of date, causes compilation errors, and is replacable with acpica. This commit removes the iasl recipe as well as updating references within seabios and xen, even though acpcica PROVIDES iasl. Signed-off-by: Chris Patterson Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

seabios: update to 1.11.2 and use github for SRC_URI

2018-09-23T03:11:28+00:00

Update to version 1.11.2 fixes compile errors encountered with 1.9.1. Use the official QEMU github mirror of git.qemu.org/seabios as a stable, maintained, available SRC_URI for seabios releases. While downloads.seabios.org is documented as the official source, it has not published tarballs for the most recent releases. Signed-off-by: Christopher Clark Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield
