Collections and overlays are deprecated in favour of layers, a much cleaner and
non-intrusive way of extending Poky with custom recipes, classes and
configuration.
This patch updates the Extending Poky section of the handbook to show how to
use layers to tailor Poky while dropping the existing section on using
collections.

In relocatable.bbclass and utility-tasks.bbclass we depend on functionality
that was only introduced with Pytrhon 2.6, so we now check that the build
system has it in the sanity class.

We already have versioning of the local.conf file but it's entirely plausible
for the bblayers.conf and site.conf to change incompatibly so we should version
those too.

Renamed the recipe to 0.12.4.
Moved the patches directory to qemu-0.12.4 - when it was named
qemu-0.12, bitbake silently ignored the patches, and only failed when
it came time to apply them.
Added a FILESDIR to the git recipe and changed its PV to 0.12.4 so it
can use the same patches as the normal recipe for now.
Removed the series file - it wasn't needed.

Without this patch decoding a url of this kind file://dir/filename gives
path=/filename host=dir.
With the patch it decodes as path=/dir/filename host=""
Probably nobody stumbled on this issue yet because nobody used
file:// urls with directory names in the path.

--disable-libuuid is added to the configure command line. This has
the effect of disabling the compilation of uuidgen and libuuid.so.
These two are specified as making up their own packages, which turn
out to be empty, and thus aren't created in the first place. The
error which manifests itself is at the final creation of the rootfs
when the global package depends on the e2fsprogs-uuidgen and libuuid,
which turn out not to exist, because they weren't created.

Move the populate-volatile.sh call to below the offline check.
Otherwise, it will try to run during the build, on a system which

Automatic upstream version check can be triggered by "bitbake xxx -c checkpkg".
The rationale behind is to find a automatic way for version comparison between
current in-use one and upstream progress. The tricky thing is how to find out
useful version string from mass diverse information. Fortunately now it mostly
work for wget based protocol, except some sites (e.g. sourceforge) not providing
a directory service. Repo (git/svn/cvs) based protocols are handled in a very
simple manner, by always tagging as update required. This will be further
improved later. Use 'world' target to retrieve a full version check for all
active recipes.
Along with version check, other package information is also collected from
existing fields in .bb file

e2fsprogs requires libuuid to build and we have disabled its built in version
in favour of the one in util-linux, therefore we need util-linux in the DEPENDS

This recipe has different names in the different distros. So defining
these aliases for the distro_check task use.
Signed-Off-By: Nitin A Kamble <nitin.a.kamble@intel.com>
This adds a new task (distro_check) for each recipe.
The task generates the source package list for Fedora OpenSuSE
Ubuntu Debian & Mandriva Linux distros.
As one recipe or source package can generate multiple target packages
the recipe name is compared with the source package name list of LInux
distributions.
Thread locking is used to avoid multiple threads racing for the
package list update.
Then the recipe name (PN) is checked if it exists in the package
list of distros. And if the DISTRO_PN_ALIAS then it is used to copmare
pacakge_name instead of the PN variable. Just for example the
DISTRO_PN_ALIAS can be defined in the recipe (.bb) files like this
In the file xset_1.0.4.bb:
DISTRO_PN_ALIAS = "Fedora=xorg-x11-server-utils;\
Ubuntu=x11-xserver-utils; Debian=x11-xserver-utils;Opensuse=xorg-x11"
The final results are stored in the tmp/log/distro_check-${DATETIME}.result
file.
FYI this command will generate the results for all recipies:
bitbake world -f -c distro_check

* The no-hardlinks patch is no longer required
* There was an autoconf macro issue which required a new patch (details in patch)
* libuuid was disabled, this should be provided by util-linux on modern systems
* Not providing libuuid is useful for the -native tools as it stops library symbol
confusion with those from the host system.

The import from OE had included some mdev configuration, whereas Poky switched
to udev and a static (tarred) dev some time ago.
Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock <josh@linux.intel.com>
Chris made some interesting changes to the patch handling in OE. Firstly the
patch and pnum parameters have been renamed, to better reflect their function,
to apply and striplevel. The apply parameter now takes either yes or no as its
value.
Therefore a patch line would be changed from:
file://some.patch;patch=1;pnum=2
to:
file://some.patch;apply=yes;striplevel=2
Secondly the apply parameter is inferred if not defined. Entries in SRC_URI
with diff or patch filename extensions will be automatically applied as patches
if the apply parameter is not set to no (or an unknown value).
Note: We have disabled the warnings when using the old style parameters for now

QEMU 0.12.x is relocatable so we no longer need these tests, which is good
because it doesn't work reliably with modern kernels.
Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock <josh@linux.intel.com>
There's no need to carry around two copies of the same patches for qemu-git and
qemu-0.12 so drop the qemu-git directory and update the git recipe to use the
qemu-0.12 directory for patches.
Move common code from the two recipes to an inc file.
