[PATCH] bitbake.conf: require lz4 instead of lz4c

[PATCH] bitbake.conf: require lz4 instead of lz4c

[Justin Bronder]

With bitbake commit 'bb: compress: use lz4 instead of lz4c' we require
lz4, not lz4c [1].  Going as far back as Ubuntu 16.04/Fedora 25, they
are packaged together so it should be safe to simply adjust the
requirement from lz4c to lz4.

Note that the two are largely the same, but upstream has considered lz4c
deprecated since at least 2018 [2].

This caused a failure in barebox:

I see, sorry about that.

What would be the recommended path forward?

- Add lz4c to HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL so it's still symlinked.  This would fix barebox and any other recipes that still depend on lz4c on distributions where lz4c is still packaged but leave others without an early warning system.
- Submit patches to barebox and others to use lz4 instead of lz4c.  This is probably more correct but will leave Tumbleweed unsupported by default with other distros to presumably follow.
- Convince Tumbleweed (and others) to continue packaging lz4c.

barebox only recently merged so I think it should be fine to see if we
can switch barebox to use lz4. How would that leave Tumbleweed
supported?

Can we rather make the affected recipe depend on the native tool rather
than the host one? And pls file a ticket with barebox upstream or maybe the
maintainer can respond right here.

Ok, I've submitted a quite simple patch to barebox upstream and I'll resubmit
this along with that patch.  Pending other recipes requiring lz4c, that will
fix things for Tumbleweed.

Hi Alex,

we could and I agree this would be the more correct way.
The only concern I have is that this would require adding dependencies for all potential compression
methods currently supported by barebox (lz4, lzo, gzip, xz).

Or I have to add some more pseudo-PACKAGECONFIG options and enable only lz4 by default.
However, I fear that this would quickly result in accidentally using the host tools again.
Not sure if there is local way of filtering out allowed host tools?..

Thankfully, Justin already contributed the fix to barebox upstream in the meantime and as far as I
can see, it was quickly merged and should thus be part of the November release.

I'd say you could resend the above patch with a barebox backport.

To clarify: Justin already did this in a v2 and the patch is in oe-core upstream.

I read this as meaning that you no longer consider a native lz4 dependency necessary.

Hi I'm seeing a build error on latest master when building Linux 6.10 due to missing lz4c tool.

I see it's still used even in Linux 6.12: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/Makefile?h=v6.12.1#n511

On my build host, lz4c is symlinked to lz4. But I suspect the issue is lz4c was removed from HOSTTOOLS.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

Yes, I can reproduce it when setting CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4.  I've sent a patch upstream.  If they are receptive I'll submit it for linux-yocto.  But perhaps in the meantime we should add lz4c to HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL?

Hi Justin, thanks for submitting a patch upstream. I can confirm I have this in my defconfig: “CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4=y”

Ok, this got merged to 6.13-rc kernel series, but it's now broken for all the 
downstream BSPs and older kernel versions that use LZ4, besides linux-yocto. 
Sigh...

Was there a patch submitted to have both lz4 and lz4c listed in HOSTTOOLS* 
(at least temporatily until this gets propagated everywhere)?

I sent one just now.  Apologies for the annoyances this has caused.  No good
deed goes unpunished ;)
