This commit refactors the npm fetcher to improve some points and fix others: - The big change is that the fetcher is only fetching the package source and no more the dependencies. Thus the npm fetcher act as the other fetchers e.g git, wget. The dependencies will be handled later. - The fetcher only resolves the url of the package using 'npm view' and then forwards it to a proxy fetcher. - This commit also fixes a lot of issues with the package names (exotic characters, scoped packages) which were badly handled. - The validation files - lockdown.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json - are no longer used by the fetcher. Instead, the downloaded tarball is verified with the 'integrity' and 'shasum' provided in the 'npm view' of the package [1][2]. 1: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-lock.json#integrity 2: https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI (Bitbake rev: 0f451cdc43130d503ada53ed1b4fc5a24943f6ef) Signed-off-by: Jean-Marie LEMETAYER <jean-marie.lemetayer@savoirfairelinux.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
