Hi All, Feature freeze time in upon us for 3.5/Kirkstone, technically tomorrow (Mon 21st). I think I have a reasonably clear idea of what I intend to do now.
I'm intending the inclusive language changes will merge. Most of these are in master-next and are now basically ready IMO. We're missing a fix for the error handling of recipe parse errors in bitbake and the license exclusion changes for which we do now have a plan. I've also a patchset which changes the LICENSE fields in OE-Core to SDPX identifiers along with a conversion script people can use on other layers. We may as well do this while we're changing things. To adapt to the variable renames, there is a conversion script in OE-Core: scripts/contrib/convert-variable-renames.py and for SPDX licenses: scripts/contrib/convert-spdx-licenses.py which you can run against a given layer. I've updated the layer series name in OE-Core to kirkstone. We're not advertising any compatibility with honister due to the renames. I'd advise caution marking a layer to work with both due to the renaming. I'm torn on timing, the merge will certainly be in the next few days. It would be way easier for me just to get on and merge everything now, that then frees up other layers to start adapting. I know the license exclusion change will trigger a further tweak to the conversion script and I was hoping to only cause issues for people once. That variable is very uncommon outside core so perhaps it doesn't matter that much though and we're as ready as we can be. I also realise the timing with a US holiday isn't ideal. I've cc'd various layer maintainers, particularly those with red builds on the autobuilder with the changes. I'll try and create the kirkstone branches when these merge. If anyone is aware of anything which should be in the release but isn't yet, please let me know ASAP. Cheers, Richard
