Currently we inform the user that some package/layer is skipped but we don't print the reason albeit bitbake knows the reason. So currently it looks like: gtk+: meta-oe 2.24.32 (skipped) With this change the output prints the skip reason which is very helpful for debugging: gtk+: meta-oe 2.24.32 (skipped: one of 'x11 directfb' needs to be in DISTRO_FEATURES) (Bitbake rev: d43e72db4f7c8b47d91d99ed54ce30e9ee898de1) Signed-off-by: Marco Felsch <m.felsch@pengutronix.de> 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: https://docs.yoctoproject.org
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
