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

classes: Add SPDX license identifiers

2022-08-12T10:58:01+00:00

As stated in our top level license files, the license is MIT unless otherwise stated. Add SPDX identifers accordingly. Replace older license statementa with the standardised syntax. Also drop "All Rights Reserved" expression as it isn't used now, doesn't mean anything and is confusing. (From OE-Core rev: 081a391fe09a21265881e39a2a496e4e10b4f80b) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: Add copyright statements to files without one

2022-08-12T10:58:01+00:00

Where there isn't a copyright statement, add one to make it explicit. Also drop editor config lines where they were present. (From OE-Core rev: 880c1ea3edc8edef974e65b2d424fc36809ea034) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

license.bbclass: Bound beginline and endline in copy_license_files()

2022-06-06T12:36:05+00:00

Ensure that begin_idx (i.e., beginline - 1) and end_idx (i.e., endline) are positive numbers in copy_license_files(). This makes sure the same lines are copied as populate_lic_qa_checksum() uses when it calculates the checksum. Before, beginline=0 would typically lead to that no lines were copied at all.

license.bbclass: Remove the available_licenses() function

2022-03-24T17:45:29+00:00

It is no longer used in OE-Core. (From OE-Core rev: aa662aae352c65cb5d13172bf98ed4ae3cb46c26) Signed-off-by: Peter Kjellerstedt Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

license: Drop AVAILABLE_LICENSES

2022-03-16T10:31:41+00:00

This variable is a performance liability and is highly dependent on which layers are added to the configuration which can cause signature issues for users. We have no users left in OE-Coreso remove it. (From OE-Core rev: bf08d9ccb9cbc749a571af3d33140bcae0e252a6) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

license: expand_wildcard_licenses: add AGPL-3.0* wildcard

2022-03-07T22:44:55+00:00

The Yocto reference manual suggests also settings AGPL-3.0 in INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE. https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE Fixes: 724fc8047cae ("license: Rework INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE wildcard handling") (From OE-Core rev: 5d5c999ec0a40e3fa14041c35035c8cd4a1da01d) Signed-off-by: Christian Eggers Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

license: Rework INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE wildcard handling

2022-03-02T18:43:25+00:00

The current wildcard handling is badly documented and inconsistently used and understood. Forcing users to have to use "GPL-3.0-only GPL-3.0-or-later" whilst explict is not very user friendly. Equally, using the current wildcards is ambigious. This supports pre-defined expansions only and at least makes it clear what GPL-3.0* means (it doesn't include the exception licenses). This is hopefully an acceptable compromise between literal meaning and having something usable. Non-SPDX forms of license in this field have been dropped and errors are shown for unsupported expansions and unsupported old style license terms. Users need to carefully consider how to migrate to the new syntax but the meaning should be well defined and clear from here forward.

meta, meta-selftest: Replace more non-SPDX license identifiers

2022-03-01T23:44:59+00:00

In commit ceda3238 (meta/meta-selftest/meta-skeleton: Update LICENSE variable to use SPDX license identifiers) all LICENSE variables were updated to only use SPDX license identifiers. This does the same for comments and other variables where it is appropriate to use the official SPDX license identifiers. There are still references to, e.g., "GPLv3", but they are then typically in descriptive text where they refer to the license in a generic sense.

2022-02-21T23:44:24+00:00

Add further tweaks to comments and variable names for license variable change. (From OE-Core rev: 4125d86f1d3adc53230c02bce4bab46b8c21116f) Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
