linux/poky.git/meta/classes-global/base.bbclass, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes/base: prefer gnu-prefixed HOSTTOOLS

2025-11-03T17:40:41+00:00

Ubuntu 25.10 has changed the default coreutils implementation from GNU coreutils to uutils/coreutils. Unfortunately this causes build problems: couldn't allocate absolute path for 'null'. tail: cannot open 'standard input' for reading: No such file or directory install: failed to chown '...': Invalid argument (os error 22) Clear build failures happen in 'install' and 'tail', but there may be further breakage. Luckily, Ubuntu also installs GNU coreutils with a binary prefix of 'gnu', so whilst these issues are root-caused and fixed in either pseudo or uutils we can prefer the gnu-prefixed binaries where they are present.

base.bbclass: remove unneeded bb.runqueue import

2025-09-15T16:57:24+00:00

base.bbclass no longer uses bb.runqueue[1]. Remove the import.

base.bbclass: Deferred inherit native toolchain class

2025-07-04T13:56:41+00:00

use TOOLCHAIN_NATIVE variable for selecting native compiler Default it to PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_NATIVE, a recipe which wants to enforce a toolchain can do so with for cross toolchains ( e.g. target, nativesdk ) TOOLCHAIN = "gcc" For native TOOLCHAIN_NATIVE = "gcc" This helps build native recipe with clang as native compiler.

base: Use OE_SHARED_UMASK for do_fetch

2025-07-01T07:49:37+00:00

The intent has always been to share DL_DIR, so set the umask accordingly to the new OE_SHARED_UMASK variable and match expectations. (From OE-Core rev: 00e9bfbd29f3959adfc2c64ec78285a11ff83821) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

base.bbclass: drop compatibility moving of sources into workdir

2025-06-20T11:07:27+00:00

Potentially there could be a grace period for fixing recipes (with warnings, etc), on the other hand, changes to git unpacking destination would already break various layers, so we might as well make this a hard qa error and drop the magic at the same time. I commit to sending fixes for layers included in autobuilder testing (meta-oe/arm/intel/virt/agl/aws/mingw/etc). SOURCE_BASEDIR is at the same time adjusted to be calculated relative to UNPACKDIR (previously it only worked if S was set to WORKDIR/something/otherthing, and that is no longer working). It is also no longer removed from the filesystem, as content of unpackdir is managed elsewhere.

toolchain: Provide abstraction for recipe specific toolchain selection

2025-06-16T21:26:38+00:00

This change implements a toolchain selection mechanism. Selection is made using a set of variables, primarily PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_TARGET which defaults to gcc. It uses the familiar name for toolchain e.g. "gcc" which selects GNU compiler + binutils as default C/C++ toolchain or "clang" which will use LLVM/Clang Compiler. Layers an add their own toolchain definitions too. There are also PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_NATIVE and PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_SDK which will ulitmately allow selection of the toolchain used for the native/cross and nativesdk/crosssdk compilers. This currently isn't functional but is essential to the patch to ensure things are set to the existing gcc support in those cases. Users would most commonly want to set: PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_TARGET ?= "clang" in local.conf or other distro specific global configuration metadata. It is also selectable at recipe scope, since not all packages are buildable with either clang or gcc, a recipe can explicitly require a given toolchain using the TOOLCAHIN variable, e.g. glibc can not be built with clang therefore glibc recipe sets: TOOLCHAIN = "gcc" The TOOLCHAIN variable is distinct from the user preference so recipes with specific requirements can be identified. This also allows different polcies to be be specified for native/SDK cases in the future. (From OE-Core rev: 45bdedd213aff8df3214b95ef2a8551c0abd93a0) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

base: Add deferred class event handler

2025-06-16T21:26:38+00:00

Use the new deferred class event to set the class overrides earlier. This improves interaction of the override with PACKAGECONFIG values that control conditional inherits (such as python support). This also allows toolchain configuration in an easier and more user friendly way. (From OE-Core rev: d58f94d5684332bd4fac3747688558bb261b9c63) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

base: Fix PACKAGECONFIG handling for cross recipes

2025-02-18T22:53:45+00:00

We don't have many cross recipes that use PACKAGECONFIG but gdb-cross does, so correctly remap dependencies for that case allowing the gdb recipe to be simplified. (From OE-Core rev: c5bb7976f4d6e8559b4b87e4c3f39135dbb40ef8) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: switch p7zip to 7zip

2025-02-10T13:03:57+00:00

meta-oe has switched from p7zip to 7zip. p7zip recipe does not exist anymore and p7zip is provided and rprovided by 7zip recipe. Use real provider instead of replaced one. (From OE-Core rev: 5aa516bfa295d5be919459dfe45f452cdec45e81) Signed-off-by: Peter Marko Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
