QA check changes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
gcc 8.0 is now the minumum required GNU C compiler version
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This version, released in 2018, is a minimum requirement
|
||||
to build the ``mesa-native`` recipe.

|
||||
.. _migration-4.2-new-nvd-api:
|
||||
|
||||
Fetching the NVD vulnerability database through the 2.0 API
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This new version adds a new fetcher for the NVD database using the 2.0 API,
|
||||
as the 1.0 API will be retired in 2023.
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation changes as little as possible, keeping the current
|
||||
database format (but using a different database file for the transition
|
||||
period), with a notable exception of not using the META table.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are minor changes that you may notice:
|
||||
|
||||
- The database starts in 1999 instead of 2002
|
||||
- The complete fetch is longer (30 minutes typically)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Rust: mandatory checksums for crates
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This release now supports checksums for Rust crates and make
|
||||
them mandatory for each crate in a recipe. See :yocto_git:`python3_bcrypt recipe changes
|
||||
</poky/commit/?h=mickledore&id=0dcb5ab3462fdaaf1646b05a00c7150eea711a9a>`
|
||||
for example.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``cargo-update-recipe-crates`` utility
|
||||
:yocto_git:`has been extended </poky/commit/?h=mickledore&id=eef7fbea2c5bf59369390be4d5efa915591b7b22>`
|
||||
to include such checksums. So, in case you need to add the list of checksums
|
||||
to a recipe just inheriting the :ref:`ref-classes-cargo` class so far, you can
|
||||
follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Make the recipe inherit :ref:`ref-classes-cargo-update-recipe-crates`
|
||||
#. Remove all ``crate://`` lines from the recipe
|
||||
#. Create an empty ``${BPN}-crates.inc`` file and make your recipe require it
|
||||
#. Execute ``bitbake -c update_crates your_recipe``
|
||||
#. Copy and paste the output of BitBake about the missing checksums into the
|
||||
``${BPN}-crates.inc`` file.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
||||
|
||||
- BitBake has seen multiple internal changes that may impact
|
||||
memory and disk usage as well as parsing time, in particular:
|
||||
|
||||
- BitBake's Cooker server is now multithreaded.
|
||||
|
||||
- BitBake's cache has been extended to include more hash
|
||||
debugging data, but has also been optimized to :yocto_git:`compress
|
||||
cache data <https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=mickledore&id=7d010055e2af3294e17db862f42664ca689a9356>`.
|
||||
|
||||
- BitBake's Cooker server :yocto_git:`can now be pinged
|
||||
</poky/commit/?h=mickledore&id=26f255da09>`
|
||||
from the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
- Architecture-specific enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
- This release adds initial support for the
|
||||
:wikipedia:`LoongArch <Loongson#LoongArch>`
|
||||
(``loongarch64``) architecture, though there is no testing for it yet.
|
||||
|
||||
- Kernel-related enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
- QEMU/runqemu enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
- Image-related enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
- New variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`VOLATILE_TMP_DIR` allows to specify
|
||||
whether ``/tmp`` should be on persistent storage
|
||||
or in RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
- Rust improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
- This release adds Cargo support on the target, and includes
|
||||
automated QA tests for this functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
- It also supports checksums for Rust crates and makes
|
||||
them mandatory for each crate in a recipe.
|
||||
|
||||
- Testing:
|
||||
|
||||
- The ptest images have changed structure in this release. The
|
||||
underlying ``core-image-ptest`` recipe now uses :term:`BBCLASSEXTEND` to
|
||||
create a variant for each ptest enabled recipe in OE-Core.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this means that ``core-image-ptest-bzip2``,
|
||||
``core-image-ptest-lttng-tools`` and many more image targets now exist
|
||||
and can be built/tested individually.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``core-image-ptest-all`` and ``core-image-ptest-fast`` targets are now
|
||||
wrappers that target groups of individual images and means that the tests
|
||||
can be executed in parallel during our automated testing. This also means
|
||||
the dependencies are more accurately tested.
|
||||
|
||||
- It is now possible to track regression changes between releases using
|
||||
:oe_git:`yocto_testresults_query.py </openembedded-core/tree/scripts/yocto_testresults_query.py>`,
|
||||
which is a thin wrapper over :oe_git:`resulttool
|
||||
</openembedded-core/tree/scripts/resulttool>`. Here is an example
|
||||
command, which allowed to spot and fix a regression in the
|
||||
``quilt`` ptest::
|
||||
|
||||
yocto_testresults_query.py regression-report 4.2_M1 4.2_M2
|
||||
|
||||
See this `blog post about regression detection
|
||||
<https://bootlin.com/blog/continuous-integration-in-yocto-improving-the-regressions-detection/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release adds support for parallel ptest execution with a ptest per image.
|
||||
This takes ptest execution time from 3.5 hours to around 45 minutes on the autobuilder.
|
||||
|
||||
- Miscellaneous changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Supporting 64 bit dates on 32 bit platforms: several packages have been
|
||||
updated to pass Y2038 tests.
|
||||
|
||||
- Many packages were updated to add large file support.
