linux/poky.git/meta/classes-recipe/update-alternatives.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The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

update-alternatives: Simplfy variable dependency logic

2025-06-05T20:19:12+00:00

When looking at bitbake parsing speed issues, I noticed a lot of weird looking variables from the update-alternatives class. It is possible this was written before variable dependencies could handle flags. It can handle flags now so simplfy the code to take advantage of that and avoid the indirection variables. The win here is a significant reduction in the number of variables, which in turn significantly reduces the looping bitbake's taskhash calculation code needs to do.

update-alternatives.bbclass: fix old override syntax

2023-05-03T06:33:18+00:00

Function 'gen_updatealternativesvardeps' still used old override syntax when fetching variable flags. Update to use ':' instead to match recipe meta data. This was found by review and no real issue encountered but it is a bug that affects variable dependencies and can affect rebuilds as task hashes might not be accurate.

recipes, classes: Avoid adding extra whitespace to PACKAGESPLITFUNCS

2023-01-12T23:08:58+00:00

This is a follow-up to commit 846ff49465 to remove the extra whitespace that is no longer needed after converting :append and :prepend to += and =+.

recipes/classes: Drop prepend/append usage with PACKAGESPLITFUNCS

2023-01-05T11:52:50+00:00

As far as I can tell, none of these uses of PACKAGESPLITFUNCS need append/prepend operators, the standard += and =+ can work just fine. Since OE-Core is copied a lot, use the preferred syntax which is also simpler to parse and change. (From OE-Core rev: 846ff49465337dddd75a83161f41f48117f6571c) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: Update classes to match new bitbake class scope functionality

2022-08-12T14:27:17+00:00

Move classes to classes-global or classes-recipe as appropriate to take advantage of new bitbake functionality to check class scope/usage. (From OE-Core rev: f5c128008365e141082c129417eb72d2751e8045) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
