If the bitbake server recieved multiple connections, it currently closes ones it can't handle (while its dealing with another). This is rather antisocial behaviour which causes clients to quickly run through their retries and abort. Instead, queue any other connections until the current one is closed. This way the client can decide when it wants to stop waiting for the server. If the client is gone by the time we handle it, we handle that gracefully. This also fixes a number of bugs in the connection handling where connections which did drop early were badly handled causing tracebacks in the logs. Also, handle queue incomming connections in a loop to ensure that the main client handling doesn't starve that piece of the system. This code was stress tested by running 50 connection attempts in parallel at once, ensuring the code correctly handled them.

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
