We've been removing PR values from recipes at upgrade time for a while. In general
anyone maintaining a binary distro would end up having to curate these themselves
so the values in OE-Core aren't really that useful anymore. In many ways it makes
sense to clear out the remaining ones (which are mostly for 'config' recipes that
are unlikely to increase in PV) and leave a clean slate for anyone implementing
a binary distro config.
References are left in meta-selftest since the tests there do involve them and
their removal upon upgrade.

Source control information being present in PV used to be a hard requirement
for bitbake to operate correctly. Now that hashes are a required part of task
stamps, this requirement no longer exists.
This means we can defer the hash pieces to PKGV and simplify PV.
Use new bitbake fetcher API to inject the source revisions directly into the hash
allowing removal of some horrible code from base.bbclass and avoiding any hardcoding
about how SRCREV may or may not be used.
Use that API to object the string to append to PKGV and append that directly.
The user visible effect of this change is that PV will no longer have revision
information in it and this will now be appended to PV through PKGV when the
packages are written. Since PV is used in STAMP and WORKDIR, users will see
small directory naming and stamp naming changes.
This will mean that sstate reuse through hash equivalence where the source
revision changes but the output does not will become possible as the sstate
naming will become less specific and no longer contain the revision.
The SRCPV variable will no longer be needed in PV and is effectively now just
a null operation. Usage can be removed over time.

This recipe is for showing a "real world" example of
a crate that depends on some git repositories.
Usually, this kind of crate is built within a global
workspace (here it is the zbus project) and so
doesn't need a Cargo.lock on its own.
For the sake of the demonstration, I had to tweak things
a little to be able to compile zvariant in standalone
(no relative path in dependency, no symlink to LICENSE
provide a Cargo.lock)
The use case where the crate had some git repository
in dependency is very common for "private" crate that
are not aimed to be published on crates.io.
When the project grow bigger, it is common to have
a bin and multiple lib developped in parallel, and these
libs are surely on a git repostitory.
A test case have been also added to check for:
- the previous patch about git subpath parameter and devtool
- the correctness of overriding dependencies (first patch of the
series)

devtool modify/upgrade are not currently equipped to handle conditional local files
in SRC_URI, and provide only the main no-override set in a workspace under
source/component/oe-local-files/ (this is done via meta/classes/devtool-source.bbclass).
On the other hand, updating the changes from workspace into a recipe
is run iteratively against all overrides; this works for patches (as they
all are directed into their own override branches in the workspace
git source tree), but breaks down when trying to match local files
in a workspace against local files in overridden SRC_URI lists, resulting in
bad recipe breakage.
(there's an additional twist here: existing code has a guard against this
but the guard relies on metadata in workspace .bbappend that is only there
in modify operations, but not upgrades. This commit replaces the guard
with a general check that will work everywhere).
Implementing multiple sets of local files is significant work; let's for now
simply not touch local files in recipes except when on the no-override variant.
Also, adjust the selftest cases to include conditional local files in sample
recipes, so the situation is covered by the tests.

There is uncertainty about the default branch name in git going forward.
To try and cover the different possible outcomes, add branch names to all
git:// and gitsm:// SRC_URI entries.
This update was made with the script added to contrib in this patch which
aims to help others convert other layers.

"A unified kernel image is a single EFI PE executable combining an EFI
stub loader, a kernel image, an initramfs image, and the kernel command
line.
[...]
Images of this type have the advantage that all metadata and payload
that makes up the boot entry is monopolized in a single PE file that can
be signed cryptographically as one for the purpose of EFI
SecureBoot."[1]
This commit adds a create-unified-kernel-image=true option to the
bootimg-efi plugin for creating a Unified Kernel Image[1] and installing
it into $BOOT/EFI/Linux/ with a .efi extension per the the Boot Loader
Specification[1][2]. This is useful for implementing Secure Boot.
systemd-boot is the only mainstream bootloader implementing the
specification, but GRUB should be able to boot the EFI binary, this
commit however doesn't implement the necessary changes to the GRUB
config generation logic to boot the Unified Kernel Image.
