+        The <filename>git fetch --tags</filename> is somewhat redundant since you just set

+                As mentioned in the previous section, the 
+                <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable lists all the 
+                important files that contain the license text for the source code. 
+                It is possible to specify a checksum for an entire file, or a specific section of a
+                file (specified by beginning and ending line numbers with the "beginline" and "endline"
+                parameters, respectively). 
+                The latter is useful for source files with a license notice header,
+                README documents, and so forth.
+                If you do not use the "beginline" parameter, then it is assumed that the text begins on the 
+                first line of the file. 
+                Similarly, if you do not use the "endline" parameter, it is assumed that the license text

+
+            <para>
+                The "md5" parameter stores the md5 checksum of the license text. 
+                If the license text changes in any way as compared to this parameter
+                then a mismatch occurs.
+                This mismatch triggers a build failure and notifies the developer.
+                Notification allows the developer to review and address the license text changes.
+                Also note that if a mismatch occurs during the build, the correct md5

+                Generally, however, every project requires a few specifications for license tracking. 
+                Many projects have a "COPYING" file that stores the license information for all the source

+            Sometimes a package name you are using might exist under an alias or as a similarly named
+            package in a different distribution.
+            The Yocto Project implements a <filename>distro_check</filename>
+            task that automatically connects to major distributions
+            and checks for these situations. 
+            If the package exists under a different name in a different distribution, you get a 
+            <filename>distro_check</filename> mismatch.  
+            You can resolve this problem by defining a per-distro recipe name alias using the 
+            <filename><link linkend='var-DISTRO_PN_ALIAS'>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</link></filename> variable.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>

+        <para>
+            If you have more than one distribution alias, separate them with a space.

+            Fedora, OpenSuSE, Debian, Ubuntu, 
+            and Mandriva distributions for source package recipes without having to specify them 
+            using the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename> variable.
+            For example, the following command generates a report that lists the Linux distributions

-            An example would be where you have most of a system compiled in 32-bit

-                After you have set up the recipes, you need to define the actual
-                combination of multiple libraries you want to build. 
-                You accomplish this through your <filename>local.conf</filename>
-                configuration file in the Yocto Project build directory. 
-                An example configuration would be as follows:
-                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     MACHINE = "qemux86-64"
-     require conf/multilib.conf
-     MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"

-     MULTILIB_IMAGE_INSTALL = "lib32-connman"
-                </literallayout>
-                This example enables an
-                additional library named <filename>lib32</filename> alongside the 
-                normal target packages.
-                When combining these "lib32" alternatives, the example uses "x86" for tuning.
-                For information on this particular tuning, see

-                The example then includes <filename>lib32-connman</filename>
-                in all the images, which illustrates one method of including a 
-                multiple library dependency. 
-                You can use a normal image build to include this dependency,
-                for example:
-                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ bitbake core-image-sato
-                </literallayout>
-                You can also build Multilib packages specifically with a command like this:

-     $  bitbake lib32-connman

-            <title>Explanation of Syntax</title>
-            <para>
-                As mentioned in the previous section, the 
-                <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable lists all the 
-                important files that contain the license text for the source code. 
-                It is possible to specify a checksum for an entire file, or a specific section of a
-                file (specified by beginning and ending line numbers with the "beginline" and "endline"
-                parameters respectively). 
-                The latter is useful for source files with a license notice header,
-                README documents, and so forth.
-                If you do not use the "beginline" parameter, then it is assumed that the text begins on the 
-                first line of the file. 
-                Similarly, if you do not use the "endline" parameter, it is assumed that the license text 
-                ends with the last line of the file. 
-            </para>
-
-            <para>
-                The "md5" parameter stores the md5 checksum of the license text. 
-                If the license text changes in any way as compared to this parameter
-                then a mismatch occurs.
-                This mismatch triggers a build failure and notifies the developer.
-                Notification allows the developer to review and address the license text changes.
-                Also note that if a mismatch occurs during the build, the correct md5 
-                checksum is placed in the build log and can be easily copied to the recipe.
-            </para>
-
-            <para>
-                There is no limit to how many files you can specify using the 
-                <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable.
-                Generally, however, every project requires a few specifications for license tracking. 
-                Many projects have a "COPYING" file that stores the license information for all the source 
-                code files.
-                This practice allows you to just track the "COPYING" file as long as it is kept up to date. 
-            </para>
-
-            <tip>
-                If you specify an empty or invalid "md5" parameter, BitBake returns an md5 mis-match 
-                error and displays the correct "md5" parameter value during the build. 
-                The correct parameter is also captured in the build log. 
-            </tip>
-
-            <tip>
-                If the whole file contains only license text, you do not need to use the "beginline" and

-        <title>Handling a Package Name Alias</title>
-        <para>
-            Sometimes a package name you are using might exist under an alias or as a similarly named
-            package in a different distribution.
-            The Yocto Project implements a <filename>distro_check</filename>
-            task that automatically connects to major distributions
-            and checks for these situations. 
-            If the package exists under a different name in a different distribution, you get a 
-            <filename>distro_check</filename> mismatch.  
-            You can resolve this problem by defining a per-distro recipe name alias using the 
-            <filename><link linkend='var-DISTRO_PN_ALIAS'>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</link></filename> variable.
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-            Following is an example that shows how you specify the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename>
-            variable:
-            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     DISTRO_PN_ALIAS_pn-PACKAGENAME = "distro1=package_name_alias1 \

-        </para>
-        
-        <para>
-            If you have more than one distribution alias, separate them with a space.
-            Note that the Yocto Project currently automatically checks the 
-            Fedora, OpenSuSE, Debian, Ubuntu, 
-            and Mandriva distributions for source package recipes without having to specify them 
-            using the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename> variable.
-            For example, the following command generates a report that lists the Linux distributions
-            that include the sources for each of the Yocto Project recipes.
-            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ bitbake world -f -c distro_check
-            </literallayout>
-            The results are stored in the <filename>build/tmp/log/distro_check-${DATETIME}.results</filename>

+                    variable.
+                    For example, assume you want to prevent the build system from 
+                    accessing your <filename>$HOME/.ccache</filename> directory.
+                    The following command tells BitBake to load

+            BitBake is the tool at the heart of the Yocto Project and is responsible
+            for parsing the metadata, generating a list of tasks from it,
+            and then executing those tasks. 
+            To see a list of the options BitBake supports, use the following help command:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake --help
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The most common usage for BitBake is <filename>bitbake &lt;packagename&gt;</filename>, where
+            <filename>packagename</filename> is the name of the package you want to build 
+            (referred to as the "target" in this manual). 
+            The target often equates to the first part of a <filename>.bb</filename> filename.
+            So, to run the <filename>matchbox-desktop_1.2.3.bb</filename> file, you
+            might type the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+            </literallayout>
+            Several different versions of <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> might exist.
+            BitBake chooses the one selected by the distribution configuration.
+            You can get more details about how BitBake chooses between different 
+            target versions and providers in the 
+            "<link linkend='ref-bitbake-providers'>Preferences and Providers</link>" section.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            BitBake also tries to execute any dependent tasks first.

+            been built.

+            A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or

+            This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much 
+            as possible even after encountering an error.  
+            When an error occurs, the target that
+            failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade.

+            The <filename>.bb</filename> files are usually referred to as "recipes." 
+            In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece of software.

+

+            The term "package" can also be used to describe recipes.

+
+    <para>
+        By design, the Yocto Project build system builds everything from scratch unless 
+        BitBake can determine that parts don't need to be rebuilt.
+        Fundamentally, building from scratch is attractive as it means all parts are 
+        built fresh and there is no possibility of stale data causing problems. 
+        When developers hit problems, they typically default back to building from scratch
+        so they know the state of things from the start.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>  
+        Building an image from scratch is both an advantage and a disadvantage to the process. 
+        As mentioned in the previous paragraph, building from scratch ensures that 
+        everything is current and starts from a known state.
+        However, building from scratch also takes much longer as it generally means 
+        rebuilding things that don't necessarily need rebuilt.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project implements shared state code that supports incremental builds.
+        The implementation of the shared state code answers the following questions that
+        were fundamental roadblocks within the Yocto Project incremental build support system:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem>What pieces of the system have changed and what pieces have not changed?</listitem>
+            <listitem>How are changed pieces of software removed and replaced?</listitem>
+            <listitem>How are pre-built components that don't need to be rebuilt from scratch
+                used when they are available?</listitem>
+        </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        For the first question, the build system detects changes in the "inputs" to a given task by 
+        creating a checksum (or signature) of the task's inputs. 
+        If the checksum changes, the system assumes the inputs have changed and the task needs to be 
+        rerun.
+        For the second question, the shared state (sstate) code tracks which tasks add which output
+        to the build process. 
+        This means the output from a given task can be removed, upgraded or otherwise manipulated.
+        The third question is partly addressed by the solution for the second question
+        assuming the build system can fetch the sstate objects from remote locations and 
+        install them if they are deemed to be valid.
+    </para>

+        The rest of this section goes into detail about the overall incremental build
+        architecture, the checksums (signatures), shared state, and some tips and tricks.

+
+        <para>
+            When determining what parts of the system need to be built, BitBake 
+            uses a per-task basis and does not use a per-recipe basis.
+            You might wonder why using a per-task basis is preferred over a per-recipe basis.
+            To help explain, consider having the IPK packaging backend enabled and then switching to DEB. 
+            In this case, <filename>do_install</filename> and <filename>do_package</filename>
+            output are still valid.
+            However, with a per-recipe approach, the build would not include the 
+            <filename>.deb</filename> files.        
+            Consequently, you would have to invalidate the whole build and rerun it. 
+            Rerunning everything is not the best situation.
+            Also in this case, the core must be "taught" much about specific tasks. 
+            This methodology does not scale well and does not allow users to easily add new tasks 
+            in layers or as external recipes without touching the packaged-staging core.
+        </para>
+    </section>
+
+    <section id='checksums'>
+        <title>Checksums (Signatures)</title>
+
+        <para>
+            The shared state code uses a checksum, which is a unique signature of a task's 
+            inputs, to determine if a task needs to be run again. 
+            Because it is a change in a task's inputs that triggers a rerun, the process
+            needs to detect all the inputs to a given task. 
+            For shell tasks, this turns out to be fairly easy because
+            the build process generates a "run" shell script for each task and 
+            it is possible to create a checksum that gives you a good idea of when 
+            the task's data changes.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To complicate the problem, there are things that should not be included in 
+            the checksum. 
+            First, there is the actual specific build path of a given task - 
+            the <filename>WORKDIR</filename>. 
+            It does not matter if the working directory changes because it should not 
+            affect the output for target packages.
+            Also, the build process has the objective of making native/cross packages relocatable. 
+            The checksum therefore needs to exclude <filename>WORKDIR</filename>.
+            The simplistic approach for excluding the working directory is to set 
+            <filename>WORKDIR</filename> to some fixed value and create the checksum
+            for the "run" script. 
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Another problem results from the "run" scripts containing functions that 
+            might or might not get called.  
+            The incremental build solution contains code that figures out dependencies 
+            between shell functions.
+            This code is used to prune the "run" scripts down to the minimum set, 
+            thereby alleviating this problem and making the "run" scripts much more 
+            readable as a bonus.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            So far we have solutions for shell scripts.
+            What about python tasks?
+            The same approach applies even though these tasks are more difficult.
+            The process needs to figure out what variables a python function accesses 
+            and what functions it calls.
+            Again, the incremental build solution contains code that first figures out 
+            the variable and function dependencies, and then creates a checksum for the data 
+            used as the input to the task.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Like the <filename>WORKDIR</filename> case, situations exist where dependencies 
+            should be ignored.
+            For these cases, you can instruct the build process to ignore a dependency
+            by using a line like the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardepsexclude] = "MACHINE"
+            </literallayout>
+            This example ensures that the <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename> variable does not 
+            depend on the value of <filename>MACHINE</filename>, even if it does reference it.
+        </para>
+           
+        <para>
+            Equally, there are cases where we need to add dependencies BitBake is not able to find.
+            You can accomplish this by using a line like the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+      PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardeps] = "MACHINE"
+            </literallayout>
+            This example explicitly adds the <filename>MACHINE</filename> variable as a 
+            dependency for <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para> 
+            Consider a case with inline python, for example, where BitBake is not
+            able to figure out dependencies. 
+            When running in debug mode (i.e. using <filename>-DDD</filename>), BitBake 
+            produces output when it discovers something for which it cannot figure out
+            dependencies. 
+            The Yocto Project team has currently not managed to cover those dependencies 
+            in detail and is aware of the need to fix this situation.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct inputs into a task.
+            Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the "basehash" in the
+            code. 
+            However, there is still the question of a task's indirect inputs - the
+            things that were already built and present in the build directory. 
+            The checksum (or signature) for a particular task needs to add the hashes 
+            of all the tasks on which the particular task depends. 
+            Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision. 
+            However, the effect is to generate a master checksum that combines the basehash 
+            and the hashes of the task's dependencies.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            At the code level, there are a variety of ways both the basehash and the
+            dependent task hashes can be influenced. 
+            Within the BitBake configuration file, we can give BitBake some extra information 
+            to help it construct the basehash.
+            The following statements effectively result in a list of global variable
+            dependency excludes - variables never included in any checksum:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+  BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST ?= "TMPDIR FILE PATH PWD BB_TASKHASH BBPATH"
+  BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST += "DL_DIR SSTATE_DIR THISDIR FILESEXTRAPATHS"
+  BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST += "FILE_DIRNAME HOME LOGNAME SHELL TERM USER"
+  BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST += "FILESPATH USERNAME STAGING_DIR_HOST STAGING_DIR_TARGET"
+            </literallayout>
+            The previous example actually excludes 
+            <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>
+            since it is actually constructed as a path within 
+            <filename>TMPDIR</filename>, which is on 
+            the whitelist. 
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The rules for deciding which hashes of dependent tasks to include through
+            dependency chains are more complex and are generally accomplished with a 
+            python function. 
+            The code in <filename>meta/lib/oe/sstatesig.py</filename> shows two examples
+            of this and also illustrates how you can insert your own policy into the system 
+            if so desired.
+            This file defines the two basic signature generators <filename>OE-Core</filename>
+            uses:  "OEBasic" and "OEBasicHash". 
+            By default, there is a dummy "noop" signature handler enabled in BitBake. 
+            This means that behavior is unchanged from previous versions. 
+            <filename>OE-Core</filename> uses the "OEBasic" signature handler by default
+            through this setting in the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+  BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER ?= "OEBasic"
+            </literallayout>
+            The "OEBasicHash" <filename>BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER</filename> is the same as the 
+            "OEBasic" version but adds the task hash to the stamp files. 
+            This results in any metadata change that changes the task hash, automatically 
+            causing the task to be run again. 
+            This removes the need to bump <link linkend='var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></link>
+            values and changes to metadata automatically ripple across the build. 
+            Currently, this behavior is not the default behavior for <filename>OE-Core</filename>
+            but is the default in <filename>poky</filename>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            It is also worth noting that the end result of these signature generators is to
+            make some dependency and hash information available to the build. 
+            This information includes:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+  BB_BASEHASH_task-&lt;taskname&gt; - the base hashes for each task in the recipe
+  BB_BASEHASH_&lt;filename:taskname&gt; - the base hashes for each dependent task
+  BBHASHDEPS_&lt;filename:taskname&gt; - The task dependencies for each task
+  BB_TASKHASH - the hash of the currently running task

+            The shared state class (<filename>sstate.bbclass</filename>) 
+            is a relatively generic implementation of how to "capture" a snapshot of a given task. 
+            The idea is that the build process does not care about the source of a task's output.

+            If you have a directory whose contents you need to preserve, you can do this with

+            Since the sysroot is not used, it would never get extracted. 
+            This is another reason why a task-based approach is preferred over a 
+            recipe-based approach, which would have to install the output from every task.

+                When things go wrong, debugging needs to be straightforward. 
+                Because of this, the Yocto Project team included strong debugging

+                        the metadata that went into creating the hash for a given shared state

+            <title>Invalidating Shared State</title>
+
+            <para>
+                The shared state code uses checksums and shared state memory 
+                cache to avoid unnecessarily rebuilding tasks.
+                As with all schemes, this one has some drawbacks.
+                It is possible that you could make implicit changes that are not factored 
+                into the checksum calculation, but do affect a task's output. 
+                A good example is perhaps when a tool changes its output.
+                Let's say that the output of <filename>rpmdeps</filename> needed to change.
+                The result of the change should be that all the "package", "package_write_rpm",
+                and "package_deploy-rpm" shared state cache items would become invalid.
+                But, because this is a change that is external to the code and therefore implicit,
+                the associated shared state cache items do not become invalidated.
+                In this case, the build process would use the cached items rather than running the 
+                task again. 
+                Obviously, these types of implicit changes can cause problems.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To avoid these problems during the build, you need to understand the effects of any
+                change you make.
+                Note that any changes you make directly to a function automatically are factored into 
+                the checksum calculation and thus, will invalidate the associated area of sstate cache.
+                You need to be aware of any implicit changes that are not obvious changes to the 
+                code and could affect the output of a given task. 
+                Once you are aware of such a change, you can take steps to invalidate the cache 
+                and force the task to run. 
+                The step to take is as simple as changing a function's comments in the source code. 
+                For example, to invalidate package shared state files, change the comment statements
+                of <filename>do_package</filename> or the comments of one of the functions it calls.
+                The change is purely cosmetic, but it causes the checksum to be recalculated and  
+                forces the task to be run again.
+            </para>
+
+            <note>
+                For an example of a commit that makes a cosmetic change to invalidate 
+                a shared state, see this

-        Following are some brief details on these core components.

-        <title>BitBake</title>
-
-        <para>
-            BitBake is the tool at the heart of the Yocto Project and is responsible
-            for parsing the metadata, generating a list of tasks from it,
-            and then executing those tasks. 
-            To see a list of the options BitBake supports, use the following help command:
-            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ bitbake --help
-            </literallayout>
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-            The most common usage for BitBake is <filename>bitbake &lt;packagename&gt;</filename>, where
-            <filename>packagename</filename> is the name of the package you want to build 
-            (referred to as the "target" in this manual). 
-            The target often equates to the first part of a <filename>.bb</filename> filename.
-            So, to run the <filename>matchbox-desktop_1.2.3.bb</filename> file, you
-            might type the following:
-            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
-            </literallayout>
-            Several different versions of <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> might exist.
-            BitBake chooses the one selected by the distribution configuration.
-            You can get more details about how BitBake chooses between different 
-            target versions and providers in the 
-            <link linkend='ref-bitbake-providers'>Preferences and Providers</link> section.
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-            BitBake also tries to execute any dependent tasks first.
-            So for example, before building <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>, BitBake
-            would build a cross compiler and <filename>eglibc</filename> if they had not already 
-            been built.
-            <note>This release of the Yocto Project does not support the <filename>glibc</filename>
-                GNU version of the Unix standard C library.  By default, the Yocto Project builds with
-                <filename>eglibc</filename>.</note>
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-            A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or 
-            <filename>--continue</filename> option.  
-            This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much 
-            as possible even after encountering an error.  
-            When an error occurs, the target that
-            failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade.  
-            However, when you use this option other dependencies can still be processed.
-        </para>
-    </section>
-
-    <section id='usingpoky-components-metadata'>
-        <title>Metadata (Recipes)</title>
-
-        <para>
-            The <filename>.bb</filename> files are usually referred to as "recipes." 
-            In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece of software.
-            The information includes the location from which to download the source patches 
-            (if any are needed), which special configuration options to apply, 
-            how to compile the source files, and how to package the compiled output. 
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-            The term "package" can also be used to describe recipes.
-            However, since the same word is used for the packaged output from the Yocto 
-            Project (i.e. <filename>.ipk</filename> or <filename>.deb</filename> files), 
-            this document avoids using the term "package" to refer to recipes.

-        <title>Classes</title>
-
-        <para>
-            Class files (<filename>.bbclass</filename>) contain information that is useful to share
-            between metadata files. 
-            An example is the Autotools class, which contains
-            common settings for any application that Autotools uses.
-            The <link linkend='ref-classes'>Reference: Classes</link> appendix provides details
-            about common classes and how to use them.

-        <para>
-            The configuration files (<filename>.conf</filename>) define various configuration variables
-            that govern the Yocto Project build process. 
-            These files fall into several areas that define machine configuration options, 
-            distribution configuration options, compiler tuning options, general common configuration
-            options and user configuration options (<filename>local.conf</filename>, which is found
