Allows bitbake to fetch from an Azure Storage account.
The fetcher submodule is compatible with the az:// URI protocol, its
functionality is based on bitbakes wget fetcher, superior in performance
to using a propietary tool like azcopy which can handle cloud storage
account operations with more functionality (that we dont need in a fetcher)
but less compatibility.
A sample URI uses can be defined in the following way:
SRC_URI = "az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/foo.tar.xz"
This fetcher can easily be used with PREMIRRORS and SSTATE_MIRRORS, e.g.:
SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/sstate-cache/PATH;downloadfilename=PATH \n"
PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\
git://.*/.* az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/ \n \
ftp://.*/.* az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/ \n \
http://.*/.* az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/ \n \
https://.*/.* az://<azure-storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/ \n \
"
Can also be used with non-public access Azure Storage accounts/containers via a
Shared Access Signature by declaring the AZ_SAS variable which will be
automatically used by the fetcher:
AZ_SAS="?sv=2000-01-01&ss=...&sig=somesignature"

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
