The following changes have been made that relate to BitBake:
BitBake now supports a _remove
operator.
The addition of this operator means you will have to
rename any items in recipe space (functions, variables)
whose names currently contain
_remove_
or end with
_remove
to avoid unexpected behavior.
BitBake's global method pool has been removed. This method is not particularly useful and led to clashes between recipes containing functions that had the same name.
The "none" server backend has been removed. The "process" server backend has been serving well as the default for a long time now.
The bitbake-runtask
script has been
removed.
${
P
}
and
${
PF
}
are no longer added to
PROVIDES
by default in bitbake.conf
.
These version-specific PROVIDES
items were seldom used.
Attempting to use them could result in two versions being
built simultaneously rather than just one version due to
the way BitBake resolves dependencies.
