- Bitbake
- =======
- BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
- efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
- One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
- stacks using a task-oriented approach.
- For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
- https://www.openembedded.org/
- Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
- html version at the Yocto Project website:
- https://docs.yoctoproject.org
- Contributing
- ------------
- Please refer to
- https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
- for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
- for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
- but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
- the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
- branch, type:
- git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
- If you're sending a patch related to the BitBake manual, make sure you copy
- the Yocto Project documentation mailing list:
- git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org --cc docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
- Mailing list:
- https://lists.openembedded.org/g/bitbake-devel
- Source code:
- https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Testing:
- Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
- You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
- it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
- recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
- appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
