This commit adds a new npmsw fetcher that fetches every npm dependencies described in a npm shrinkwrap file: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/shrinkwrap.json.html The main package must be fetched separately: SRC_URI = "npm://registry.url;package=foobar;version=1.0.0 \ npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json" Since a separation has been created between the package and its dependencies, the package can also be fetched with a non npm fetcher without impacting the general behavior: SRC_URI = "git://github.com/foo/bar.git;protocol=https \ npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json" (Bitbake rev: f5223be54450bf20e0bfbd53b372a7748a44b475) 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
