There were various problems in the server startup loggin: a) stdout/stderr were not being flushed before forking which could potentially duplicate output b) there were separate buffers for stdout/stderr leading to confusing logs where the entries could be reordered. This was particularly confusing due to the separator the logs use to idendify new messages c) an fd wasn't being closed during server startup meaning if the server failed to start, the closed fd wasn't detected as it was held open by the other reference d) If the pipe was detected as being closed, the code incorrectly retried server startup e) The event code would remap stdout/stderr without flushing them, leading to lose log messages (Bitbake rev: 0594faa0b52ce5dbd948d836d88617d38d9862d1) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
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: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://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
