* xen: fix virtual RDEPENDS warningsBruce Ashfield2024-01-191-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | oe-core has started to warn when virtual/ is used outside of the DEPENDS (build) context. We tweak our rprovides/rdepends to use virtual- instead to avoid the warning: WARNING: RDEPENDS is set to virtual/xenstored, the substring 'virtual/' holds no meaning in this context. It is suggested to use the 'virtual-' instead. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>
* global: overrides syntax conversionBruce Ashfield2021-08-021-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OEcore/bitbake are moving to use the clearer ":" as an overrides separator. This is pass one of updating the meta-virt recipes to use that syntax. This has only been minimally build/runtime tested, more changes will be required for missed overrides, or incorrect conversions Note: A recent bitbake is required: commit 75fad23fc06c008a03414a1fc288a8614c6af9ca Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Sun Jul 18 12:59:15 2021 +0100 bitbake: data_smart/parse: Allow ':' characters in variable/function names It is becomming increasingly clear we need to find a way to show what is/is not an override in our syntax. We need to do this in a way which is clear to users, readable and in a way we can transition to. The most effective way I've found to this is to use the ":" charater to directly replace "_" where an override is being specified. This includes "append", "prepend" and "remove" which are effectively special override directives. This patch simply adds the character to the parser so bitbake accepts the value but maps it back to "_" internally so there is no behaviour change. This change is simple enough it could potentially be backported to older version of bitbake meaning layers using the new syntax/markup could work with older releases. Even if other no other changes are accepted at this time and we don't backport, it does set us on a path where at some point in future we could require a more explict syntax. I've tested this patch by converting oe-core/meta-yocto to the new syntax for overrides (9000+ changes) and then seeing that builds continue to work with this patch.

* xen: separate recipes for hypervisor and tools; switch to git as sourceChristopher Clark2020-02-271-0/+76
This change changes the names of many packages produced: the xen-tools recipe now builds packages previous built by the xen recipe, so the package prefix changes from "xen-" to "xen-tools-". A temporary bbappend is provided for qemu to ease the transition. Multiple motivations for recipe separation: - improves efficiency of incremental build and development - supports building the hypervisor and tools with different toolchains and for different architectures Switch to using a git recipe on the Xen stable branch: - enables easier tracking of critical XSA security updates applied upstream by just advancing SRCREV along the branch Revision has been set to the tip of the stable-4.12 branch, which has the one XSA-312 patch applied on top of RELEASE-4.12.2. The recipe refactor externalizes the block tap components, to enable optional building of blktap in a separate recipe outside xen-tools, needed by OpenXT. xenstored is made a virtual package to support switching between alternative implementations (several exist). Update xen-image-minimal to install the xen-tools package, which replaces what was previously xen-base. Determine the flask policy filename, which is Xen-version specific, using the same method as the Xen build system. qemu: update PACKAGECONFIG[xen] for xen package renaming: allows builds to continue correctly in the meantime while openembedded core and poky are updated.
