ref-manual/system-requirements.rst: update supported distributions

2025-08-13T15:42:58+00:00

Update the distributions to match the list of workers on the Autobuilder. This list was generated with the help of yocto-autobuilder-helper/scripts/yocto-supported-distros. Also: - Sort the lists alphabetically. - Decrease spacing between entries for readability.

Fix dead links that use the DISTRO macro

2025-04-21T20:17:02+00:00

After introducing the DISTRO_LATEST_TAG and DISTRO_REL_LATEST_TAG macros, use them in links that currently use DISTRO/DISTRO_REL_TAG. When building for the tip of a branch, this will replace the current A.B.999 in links to the latest existing tag. The links were found across the documentation by running 'grep -r "http.*5\.2\.999"' inside the _build/html output after building the docs.

requirements: move Ubuntu-20.04 into unsupported category due to python

2025-03-28T13:17:13+00:00

Bitbake commit 0d2e682d00df ("bitbake: lib/bb: Bump minimum python version requirement to 3.9" -- poky commit 67566c7410e1) means that Ubuntu 20.04 is no longer supported out-of-the-box as detailed further in the respective commit log. While it is true that it can still be used with buildtools, that can also be said for nearly every other unsupported distro out there, including Ubuntu 18.04 that we listed as unsupported some years ago. Hence continuing to list it as supported with the new python requirement in place does not make sense. So we move it alongside of the 18.04 entry, into the "possibly tested, but you get what you get" category. And add an explicit mention of the buildtools, so people have a thread to pull on.

docs: use literalinclude for system requirements

2025-02-18T15:47:37+00:00

The YAML variables for the host dependencies are updated by hand and actually only used inside code blocks. Let's migrate all instructions into separate shell scripts that are then literalinclude'd into the Sphinx documentation. This allows a few things: - ability to run shellcheck on the scripts if we ever want to - manually calling the appropriate script from a supported distro to build stuff (distro or bitbake/yocto stuff) - use this script to create containers to do CI of documentation on different distros, to make sure our instructions are all up to date, (From yocto-docs rev: 8d993022c2aefc0fde9baa949d39d7a3613f9f46) Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz Reviewed-by: Antonin Godard Tested-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

system-requirements.rst: add dependencies for pdf builds

2024-12-16T11:04:53+00:00

With the recent changes from commit bd6265ca323fac547a197bb516dc4a9ef3897508 ("doc: Makefile: add support for xelatex"), the list of dependencies needs to be updated. The initial list of dependencies was made for Ubuntu/Debian, and the packages were translated for the other distros using pkgs.org. Add them separately from the rest of the dependencies as they pull a _lot_ of additional dependencies (for LaTeX). Move the texlive-fncychap documentation dependency to the PDF specific dependency. Notes: - Fedora/OpenSUSE do not have the "lang-all" texlive collection, so install all available languages. - AlmaLinux does not seem to provide texlive-collection-fontsextra, texlive-collection-lang*, and texlive-collection-latexextra, so add a warning about that.

Gather dependencies in poky.yaml.in

2024-12-16T11:04:53+00:00

We used to have packages here and there in system-requirements.rst for each distro. Instead, gather all the dependencies in poky.yaml.in so we have an overview of what we provide for each distro. Use yaml ">" to list the dependencies in alphabetical order, one entry per line, which makes them easier to read and compare among distros. Rename UBUNTU_… variables to UBUNTU_DEBIAN_…, since these are used for both distros.
