sphinx: ref-manual/migration: Split each release into its own file
This avoids the duplicate heading warnings at the slight expense
of more directory clutter.

| 3 | Moving to the Yocto Project 1.3 Release | ||
| 4 | ======================================= | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto | ||
| 7 | Project 1.3 Release from the prior release. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | .. _1.3-local-configuration: | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Local Configuration | ||
| 12 | ------------------- | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Differences include changes for | ||
| 15 | :term:`SSTATE_MIRRORS` and ``bblayers.conf``. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | .. _migration-1.3-sstate-mirrors: | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | SSTATE_MIRRORS | ||
| 20 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | The shared state cache (sstate-cache), as pointed to by | ||
| 23 | :term:`SSTATE_DIR`, by default now has two-character | ||
| 24 | subdirectories to prevent issues arising from too many files in the same | ||
| 25 | directory. Also, native sstate-cache packages, which are built to run on | ||
| 26 | the host system, will go into a subdirectory named using the distro ID | ||
| 27 | string. If you copy the newly structured sstate-cache to a mirror | ||
| 28 | location (either local or remote) and then point to it in | ||
| 29 | :term:`SSTATE_MIRRORS`, you need to append "PATH" | ||
| 30 | to the end of the mirror URL so that the path used by BitBake before the | ||
| 31 | mirror substitution is appended to the path used to access the mirror. | ||
| 32 | Here is an example: :: | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH" | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | .. _migration-1.3-bblayers-conf: | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | bblayers.conf | ||
| 39 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | The ``meta-yocto`` layer consists of two parts that correspond to the | ||
| 42 | Poky reference distribution and the reference hardware Board Support | ||
| 43 | Packages (BSPs), respectively: ``meta-yocto`` and ``meta-yocto-bsp``. | ||
| 44 | When running BitBake for the first time after upgrading, your | ||
| 45 | ``conf/bblayers.conf`` file will be updated to handle this change and | ||
| 46 | you will be asked to re-run or restart for the changes to take effect. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | .. _1.3-recipes: | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | Recipes | ||
| 51 | ------- | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | Differences include changes for the following: | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | .. _migration-1.3-python-function-whitespace: | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | Python Function Whitespace | ||
| 58 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | All Python functions must now use four spaces for indentation. | ||
| 61 | Previously, an inconsistent mix of spaces and tabs existed, which made | ||
| 62 | extending these functions using ``_append`` or ``_prepend`` complicated | ||
| 63 | given that Python treats whitespace as syntactically significant. If you | ||
| 64 | are defining or extending any Python functions (e.g. | ||
| 65 | ``populate_packages``, ``do_unpack``, ``do_patch`` and so forth) in | ||
| 66 | custom recipes or classes, you need to ensure you are using consistent | ||
| 67 | four-space indentation. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | .. _migration-1.3-proto=-in-src-uri: | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | proto= in SRC_URI | ||
| 72 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | Any use of ``proto=`` in :term:`SRC_URI` needs to be | ||
| 75 | changed to ``protocol=``. In particular, this applies to the following | ||
| 76 | URIs: | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | - ``svn://`` | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | - ``bzr://`` | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | - ``hg://`` | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | - ``osc://`` | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | Other URIs were already using ``protocol=``. This change improves | ||
| 87 | consistency. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | .. _migration-1.3-nativesdk: | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | nativesdk | ||
| 92 | ~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | The suffix ``nativesdk`` is now implemented as a prefix, which | ||
| 95 | simplifies a lot of the packaging code for ``nativesdk`` recipes. All | ||
| 96 | custom ``nativesdk`` recipes, which are relocatable packages that are | ||
| 97 | native to :term:`SDK_ARCH`, and any references need to | ||
| 98 | be updated to use ``nativesdk-*`` instead of ``*-nativesdk``. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | .. _migration-1.3-task-recipes: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | Task Recipes | ||
| 103 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | "Task" recipes are now known as "Package groups" and have been renamed | ||
| 106 | from ``task-*.bb`` to ``packagegroup-*.bb``. Existing references to the | ||
| 107 | previous ``task-*`` names should work in most cases as there is an | ||
| 108 | automatic upgrade path for most packages. However, you should update | ||
| 109 | references in your own recipes and configurations as they could be | ||
| 110 | removed in future releases. You should also rename any custom ``task-*`` | ||
| 111 | recipes to ``packagegroup-*``, and change them to inherit | ||
| 112 | ``packagegroup`` instead of ``task``, as well as taking the opportunity | ||
| 113 | to remove anything now handled by ``packagegroup.bbclass``, such as | ||
| 114 | providing ``-dev`` and ``-dbg`` packages, setting | ||
| 115 | :term:`LIC_FILES_CHKSUM`, and so forth. See the | ||
| 116 | ":ref:`packagegroup.bbclass <ref-classes-packagegroup>`" section for | ||
| 117 | further details. | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | .. _migration-1.3-image-features: | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | IMAGE_FEATURES | ||
| 122 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | Image recipes that previously included "apps-console-core" in | ||
| 125 | :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` should now include "splash" | ||
| 126 | instead to enable the boot-up splash screen. Retaining | ||
| 127 | "apps-console-core" will still include the splash screen but generates a | ||
| 128 | warning. The "apps-x11-core" and "apps-x11-games" ``IMAGE_FEATURES`` | ||
| 129 | features have been removed. | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | .. _migration-1.3-removed-recipes: | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | Removed Recipes | ||
| 134 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | The following recipes have been removed. For most of them, it is | ||
| 137 | unlikely that you would have any references to them in your own | ||
| 138 | :term:`Metadata`. However, you should check your metadata | ||
| 139 | against this list to be sure: | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | - ``libx11-trim``: Replaced by ``libx11``, which has a negligible | ||
| 142 | size difference with modern Xorg. | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | - ``xserver-xorg-lite``: Use ``xserver-xorg``, which has a negligible | ||
| 145 | size difference when DRI and GLX modules are not installed. | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | - ``xserver-kdrive``: Effectively unmaintained for many years. | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | - ``mesa-xlib``: No longer serves any purpose. | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | - ``galago``: Replaced by telepathy. | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | - ``gail``: Functionality was integrated into GTK+ 2.13. | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | - ``eggdbus``: No longer needed. | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | - ``gcc-*-intermediate``: The build has been restructured to avoid | ||
| 158 | the need for this step. | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | - ``libgsmd``: Unmaintained for many years. Functionality now | ||
| 161 | provided by ``ofono`` instead. | ||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | - *contacts, dates, tasks, eds-tools*: Largely unmaintained PIM | ||
| 164 | application suite. It has been moved to ``meta-gnome`` in | ||
| 165 | ``meta-openembedded``. | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | In addition to the previously listed changes, the ``meta-demoapps`` | ||
| 168 | directory has also been removed because the recipes in it were not being | ||
| 169 | maintained and many had become obsolete or broken. Additionally, these | ||
| 170 | recipes were not parsed in the default configuration. Many of these | ||
| 171 | recipes are already provided in an updated and maintained form within | ||
| 172 | the OpenEmbedded community layers such as ``meta-oe`` and | ||
| 173 | ``meta-gnome``. For the remainder, you can now find them in the | ||
| 174 | ``meta-extras`` repository, which is in the | ||
| 175 | :yocto_git:`Source Repositories <>` at | ||
| 176 | http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-extras/. | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | .. _1.3-linux-kernel-naming: | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | Linux Kernel Naming | ||
| 181 | ------------------- | ||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | The naming scheme for kernel output binaries has been changed to now | ||
| 184 | include :term:`PE` as part of the filename: | ||
| 185 | :: | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PE}-${PV}-${PR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}" | ||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | Because the ``PE`` variable is not set by default, these binary files | ||
| 190 | could result with names that include two dash characters. Here is an | ||
| 191 | example: :: | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | bzImage--3.10.9+git0+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8-r0-qemux86-64-20130830085431.bin | ||
