  1. Bitbake
  2. =======
  3. BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
  4. efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
  5. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
  6. stacks using a task-oriented approach.
  7. For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
  8. http://www.openembedded.org/
  9. Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
  10. html version at the Yocto Project website:

  13. ------------
  14. Please refer to
  15. http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
  16. for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
  17. for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
  18. but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
  19. the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
  20. branch, type:
  21. git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
  22. Mailing list:
