vgabios: remove recipe, drop from xen-tools DEPENDS

2026-03-24T17:56:14+00:00

vgabios 0.8a depends on dev86-native which was removed in a previous commit (upstream repo deleted). vgabios is a legacy VGA BIOS from 2008 that has been superseded by SeaBIOS which is already a Xen dependency. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen: fix x86-64 boot and guest bundling issues

2026-02-26T01:05:01+00:00

Fix several issues found during x86-64 Xen testing: - xen-image-minimal: use -cpu host for KVM to avoid Xen CPUID filtering stripping AVX/AVX2 from x86-64-v3 builds, causing illegal instruction crashes in Dom0 - xen-image-minimal: use QB_MEM_VALUE (not QB_MEM) to properly override the hard assignment in qemuboot-xen-defaults.bbclass - xen-image-minimal: set dom0_mem=512M via QB_XEN_CMDLINE_EXTRA - qemuboot-xen-x86-64.cfg: add dom0_mem=512M to static syslinux config so guest autostart has memory available - vgabios: use ${SAVANNAH_GNU_MIRROR} for reliable downloads - alpine-xen-guest-bundle: add per-architecture checksums for aarch64 and x86_64 tarballs, fix S variable warning Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

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

vgabios: upgrade to 0.8a and cleanup recipe

2022-05-02T18:07:30+00:00

Upgrade to 0.8a. License checksum updated as the FSF street address changed. Apply a patch to use the correct host compiler when building biossums, removing the need for a separate biossums-native recipe. Don't hardcode /usr/share, use ${datadir}. Install all found firmware (including the new Banshee BIOS in 0.8a) and the debug files which were not installed but intended to be packaged. Remove redundant PR and S assignments, as these are the default values. Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

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.

vgabios: replace PN with BPN, to solve fetch failure while building for multilib

vgabios: don't override the compiler ldflags

2017-10-18T22:25:28+00:00

Fix for building biossums on genericx86-64 machine, due to QA issue: ERROR: QA Issue: No GNU_HASH in the elf binary: '.../0.7a-r0/packages-split/biossums/usr/bin/biossums' [ldflags] caused by overriding LDFLAGS variable to empty value in project's makefile. In consequence there's missing LDFLAGS settings from bitbake (including -Wl,--hash-style=gnu, which causes showing this QA). Signed-off-by: Dariusz Pelowski Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

vgabios : extract biossums tool and build it separately, native

2017-08-24T13:55:40+00:00

The biossums tool is used to generate the vgabios build product. This patch: * adds a separate recipe "biossums" for the tool * makes the vgabios recipe depend upon biossums-native * makes the vgabios recipe use the native binary rather than a locally built one The upstream source tarball contains binaries so these are removed before compiling proceeds.
