This can make people easier to understand bitbake-diffsigs/dumpsig's output, otherwise, it's hard to know it is a random uuid unless look into the code. E.g.: $ bitbake bc-native -ccleansstate -Snone $ bitbake bc-native -ccleansstate -Snone $ bitbake-diffsigs tmp/stamps/x86_64-linux/bc-native/1.07.1-r0.do_cleansstate.sigdata.* * Before: Taint (by forced/invalidated task) changed from nostamp:fe79d162-c4a8-4174-8007-f6d4aa09abdc to nostamp:28192187-5021-40c1-9e21-45483b62c910 * Now: Taint (by forced/invalidated task) changed from nostamp(uuid4):fe79d162-c4a8-4174-8007-f6d4aa09abdc to nostamp(uuid4):28192187-5021-40c1-9e21-45483b62c910 (Bitbake rev: 724b4a5cec8c611d53350f3e5a3988ec3222684b) Signed-off-by: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com> 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
