Add a new option to the svn fetcher url "externals=allowed". This will allow a user to enable svn co w/ externals. However, this does avoid the fetcher, network access and mirror systems. By default we no longer allow externals in the checkout. This ensures a deterministic download. The system does attempt to identify SVN repos that have externals enabled, and will warn the user. It is up to the user to determine if these are necessary for the recipe. They may disable the warning by adding "externals=nowarn" to the url. In the future we would like to parse this list and see if the items are already in the SRC_URI for that recipe, but with SVN being in limited use these days that extra work is likely not worth the trouble. Add test cases that generated a local SVN tree, with an external source set to github bitbake in svn format. One test case checks that externals are ignored, and one checks that they in downloaded.

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
