Some distributions (namely Fedora Core 40) have started replacing
wget with wget2. There are some changes to wget2 that make it
incompatible with wget:
1. ftp/ftps is not supported anymore
2. progress 'dot' is not yet supported
3. Relative paths in -P and -O are not correctly dealt with
Item 1: Is already dealt with since Scarthgap by only adding the
option --passive-ftp when the URL specifies ftp/sftp. While that
won't help if ftp/sftp is actually required it at least does
not break http/https downloads.
Item 2: While not supported it at least does not break the operation.
Item 3: If there are relative path components in -P or -O then wget2
only deals with them correctly if there is one, and only one, relative
path component at the beginning of the path:
-P ./downloads works
-P ../downloads works
-P ../../downloads does not work
-P ./../downloads does not work
-P /home/user/downloads/../downloads does not work
In cases where there are more than one relative path component at
the beginning of the path and/or one or more reltaive path
component somewhere in the middle or end of the path, wget2 aborts
with the message Internal error: Unexpected relative path: '<path>')
Such can happen if DL_DIR includes relative path components e.g.
DL_DIR = "${TOPDIR}/../../downloads".
This patch canonicalizes DL_DIR before it is passed to wget.

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
Contributing
Please refer to https://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
Mailing list:

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.
