The layer index module is expected to be used by various parts of the system
in order to access a layerindex-web (such as layers.openembedded.org) and
perform basic processing on the information, such as dependency scanning.
Along with the layerindex implementation are associated tests. The tests
properly honor BB_SKIP_NETTESTS='yes' to prevent test failures.
Tests Implemented:
- Branch, LayerItem, LayerBranch, LayerDependency, Recipe, Machine and
Distro objects
- LayerIndex setup using the layers.openembedded.org restapi
- LayerIndex storing and retrieving from a file
- LayerIndex verify dependency resolution ordering
- LayerIndex setup using simulated cooker data

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
