Currently remove operations are not being accounted for in the task checksums. This is a fairly serious oversight and needs to be fixed. To do so, we need internal data from getVarFlag combined with the expanded variable data so that only "active" remove operators are accounted for in the task checksum. We can get this from the new optional removes attribute in the returned parser object. The code can then use the data on active remove operators to account for the removals in task checksum but only when the removal is active. We have to be careful here not to reference any expanded data since this may for example contain build paths. This means we can only map back and reference the unsplit (and hence unexpanded) remove string which may expand to multiple removal values.

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.

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
