Updates for YOCTO #12891 allowed a user to have a directory structure different to that of yocto (bitbake isn't inside oe-core) whereas the definition of OE_ROOT in the main toaster binary still assumes the same while checking for .templateconf and hence we see an error on the cmdline in such cases: bash: <repo-path>/bitbake/bin/../../.templateconf: No such file or directory The change here now allows the user to provide OE_ROOT through the environment in such cases and otherwise defaults to the older mechanism to fix this issue.

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
