No error was being reported when the hash string was set to empty. For example: SRC_URI[md5sum] = "" On a related note (not a bug): Because whitespace in the string will result in a checksum mismatch, the error message was updated to make it a little clearer why the error was thrown. For example: SRC_URI[md5sum] = " " or SRC_URI[md5sum] = " 209f8326f5137d8817a6276d9577a2f1" Now creates a message like this: File: '/home/scott/yocto-cache/downloads/rsync-3.2.3.tar.gz' has md5 checksum '209f8326f5137d8817a6276d9577a2f1' when ' 209f8326f5137d8817a6276d9577a2f1' was expected [YOCTO #14232] (Bitbake rev: 731fb52eb03338c0bdb2a2256c22c64c22bcbace) Signed-off-by: Scott Weaver <weaverjs@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> (cherry picked from commit a13510d0028e234ea2f4744b0d0c38558395c70f) Signed-off-by: Anuj Mittal <anuj.mittal@intel.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: 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
