Peter Kjellerstedt 0207478c7b bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Make --quiet work with --recipe
Initializing Tinfoil with setup_logging = False only has an effect when
recipe parsing is not needed. To make it work regardless of if --recipe
is used, manipulate the quiet parameter to Tinfoil.prepare() instead.

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

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.
