dev-manual, ref-manual: Moved build history info to dev-manual
Fixes [YOCTO #12370] The section in the ref-manual on build history has been moved to the dev-manual. It is more of a "how-to" piece of information than a reference.

|

Many factors can influence the quality of a build.
|
||||
For example, if you upgrade a recipe to use a new version of an
|
||||
upstream software package or you experiment with some new
|
||||
configuration options, subtle changes can occur that you might
|
||||
not detect until later.
|
||||
Consider the case where your recipe is using a newer version of
|
||||
an upstream package.
|
||||
In this case, a new version of a piece of software might
|
||||
introduce an optional dependency on another library, which is
|
||||
auto-detected.
|
||||
If that library has already been built when the software is
|
||||
building, the software will link to the built library and that
|
||||
library will be pulled into your image along with the new
|
||||
software even if you did not want the library.

The

<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-buildhistory'><filename>buildhistory</filename></ulink>

|
||||
output.
|
||||
You can use the class to highlight unexpected and possibly
|
||||
unwanted changes in the build output.
|
||||
When you enable build history, it records information about the
|
||||
contents of each package and image and then commits that
|
||||
information to a local Git repository where you can examine
|
||||
the information.

Build history is disabled by default.
|
||||
To enable it, add the following <filename>INHERIT</filename>
|

statement and set the
|
||||
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT'><filename>BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT</filename></ulink>

Enabling build history as previously described causes the

OpenEmbedded build system to collect build output information

repository.

<note>

Enabling build history increases your build times slightly,

particularly for images, and increases the amount of disk

space used during the build.

The history for each package contains a text file that has
|
||||
name-value pairs with information about the package.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
<filename>buildhistory/packages/i586-poky-linux/busybox/busybox/latest</filename>
|
||||
contains the following:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>

|

</literallayout>
|
||||
Most of these name-value pairs correspond to variables
|
||||
used to produce the package.
|
||||
The exceptions are <filename>FILELIST</filename>, which
|

is the actual list of files in the package, and

<filename>PKGSIZE</filename>, which is the total size of
|
||||
files in the package in bytes.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A file also exists that corresponds to the recipe from
|
||||
which the package came (e.g.
|
||||
<filename>buildhistory/packages/i586-poky-linux/busybox/latest</filename>):
|
||||

|

<para>
|
||||
Finally, for those recipes fetched from a version control
|
||||
system (e.g., Git), a file exists that lists source
|
||||
revisions that are specified in the recipe and lists
|
||||
the actual revisions used during the build.
|
||||
Listed and actual revisions might differ when
|
||||
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRCREV'><filename>SRCREV</filename></ulink>
|
||||
is set to
|
||||
${<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-AUTOREV'><filename>AUTOREV</filename></ulink>}.
|

Here is an example assuming
|

<filename>buildhistory/packages/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto/latest_srcrev</filename>):

You can use the

the content of the SDK.

<para>
|

You can examine build history output from the command
|
||||
line or from a web interface.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
To see any changes that have occurred (assuming you have
|
||||
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT'><filename>BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT</filename></ulink><filename> = "1"</filename>),
|
||||
you can simply use any Git command that allows you to
|
||||
view the history of a repository.
|
||||
Here is one method:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
$ git log -p
|
||||
</literallayout>
|
||||
You need to realize, however, that this method does show
|
||||
changes that are not significant (e.g. a package's size
|
||||
changing by a few bytes).
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A command-line tool called
|
||||
<filename>buildhistory-diff</filename> does exist, though,
|
||||
that queries the Git repository and prints just the
|
||||
differences that might be significant in human-readable
|
||||
form.
|
||||
Here is an example:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||

<note>
|

The <filename>buildhistory-diff</filename> tool
|

requires the <filename>GitPython</filename> package.
|
||||
Be sure to install it using Pip3 as follows:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
$ pip3 install GitPython --user
|
||||
</literallayout>
|
||||
Alternatively, you can install
|

<filename>python3-git</filename> using the appropriate
|
||||
distribution package manager (e.g.
|
||||
<filename>apt-get</filename>, <filename>dnf</filename>,
|
||||
or <filename>zipper</filename>).
