Adds support for the hashserver to have per-user permissions. User management is done via a new "auth" RPC API where a client can authenticate itself with the server using a randomly generated token. The user can then be given permissions to read, report, manage the database, or manage other users. In addition to explicit user logins, the server supports anonymous users which is what all users start as before they make the "auth" RPC call. Anonymous users can be assigned a set of permissions by the server, making it unnecessary for users to authenticate to use the server. The set of Anonymous permissions defines the default behavior of the server, for example if set to "@read", Anonymous users are unable to report equivalent hashes with authenticating. Similarly, setting the Anonymous permissions to "@none" would require authentication for users to perform any action. User creation and management is entirely manual (although bitbake-hashclient is very useful as a front end). There are many different mechanisms that could be implemented to allow user self-registration (e.g. OAuth, LDAP, etc.), and implementing these is outside the scope of the server. Instead, it is recommended to implement a registration service that validates users against the necessary service, then adds them as a user in the hash equivalence server.

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
Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.
Contributing
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.
As a quick guide, patches should be sent to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org The git command to do that would be:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
If you're sending a patch related to the BitBake manual, make sure you copy the Yocto Project documentation mailing list:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org --cc docs@lists.yoctoproject.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.
To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed.
The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build
environment (i.e. source oe-init-build-env is used). If this is not the case, run the
testsuite as follows:
export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH
bin/bitbake-selftest
The testsuite can alternatively be executed using pytest, e.g. obtained from PyPI (in this case, the PATH is configured automatically):
pytest
