 | |
| 	  fetching (we don't care about the index). Fixes fetch errors.
 | |
| 	- Add BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS option, set to 0 to make git fetches 
 | |
| 	  faster at the expense of not creating mirror tarballs.

 | |
| 	- Add bb.utils.lockfile() and bb.utils.unlockfile() from Poky

| 	- Fix git branch tags fetching
 | |
| 	- Change parseConfigurationFile so it works on real data, not a copy
 | |
| 	- Handle 'base' inherit and all other INHERITs from parseConfigurationFile 
 | |
| 	  instead of BBHandler
 | |
| 	- Fix getVarFlags bug in data_smart
 | |
| 	- Optmise cache handling by more quickly detecting an invalid cache, only 
 | |
| 	  saving the cache when its changed, moving the cache validity check into
 | |
| 	  the parsing loop and factoring some getVar calls outside a for loop
 | |
| 	- Cooker: Remove a debug message from the parsing loop to lower overhead
 | |
| 	- Convert build.py exec_task to use getVarFlags

 | |
| 	- Add StampUpdate event

 | |
| 	  updates
 | |
| 	- Add BB_SCHEDULER variable/option ("completion" or "speed") controlling
 | |
| 	  the way bitbake schedules tasks
 | |
| 	- Add BB_STAMP_POLICY variable/option ("perfile" or "full") controlling
 | |
| 	  how extensively stamps are looked at for validity
 | |
| 	- When handling build target failures make sure idepends are checked and
 | |
| 	  failed where needed. Fixes --continue mode crashes.
 | |
| 	- Fix -f (force) in conjunction with -b
 | |
| 	- Fix problems with recrdeptask handling where some idepends weren't handled
 | |
| 	  correctly.
 | |
| 	- Handle exit codes correctly (from pH5)
 | |
| 	- Work around refs/HEAD issues with git over http (#3410)
 | |
| 	- Add proxy support to the CVS fetcher (from Cyril Chemparathy)
 | |
| 	- Improve runfetchcmd so errors are seen and various GIT variables are exported
 | |
| 	- Add ability to fetchers to check URL validity without downloading
 | |
| 	- Improve runtime PREFERRED_PROVIDERS warning message
 | |
| 	- Add BB_STAMP_WHITELIST option which contains a list of stamps to ignore when
 | |
| 	  checking stamp dependencies and using a BB_STAMP_POLICY of "whitelist"
 | |
| 	- No longer weight providers on the basis of a package being "already staged". This
 | |
| 	  leads to builds being non-deterministic.
 | |
| 	- Flush stdout/stderr before forking to fix duplicate console output
 | |
| 	- Make sure recrdeps tasks include all inter-task dependencies of a given fn
 | |
| 	- Add bb.runqueue.check_stamp_fn() for use by packaged-staging
 | |
| 	- Add PERSISTENT_DIR to store the PersistData in a persistent
 | |
| 	  directory != the cache dir.
 | |
| 	- Add md5 and sha256 checksum generation functions to utils.py
 | |
| 	- Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958)
 | |
| 	- Make sure expandKeys has been called on the data dictionary before running tasks
 | |
| 	- Correctly add a task override in the form task-TASKNAME.
 | |
| 	- Revert the '-' character fix in class names since it breaks things
 | |
| 	- When a regexp fails to compile for PACKAGES_DYNAMIC, print a more useful error (#4444)
 | |
| 	- Allow to checkout CVS by Date and Time. Just add HHmm to the SRCDATE.
 | |
| 	- Move prunedir function to utils.py and add explode_dep_versions function
 | |
| 	- Raise an exception if SRCREV == 'INVALID'
 | |
| 	- Fix hg fetcher username/password handling and fix crash
 | |
| 	- Fix PACKAGES_DYNAMIC handling of packages with '++' in the name
 | |
| 	- Rename __depends to __base_depends after configuration parsing so we don't
 | |
| 	  recheck the validity of the config files time after time
 | |
| 	- Add better environmental variable handling. By default it will now only pass certain 
 | |
| 	  whitelisted variables into the data store. If BB_PRESERVE_ENV is set bitbake will use
 | |
| 	  all variable from the environment. If BB_ENV_WHITELIST is set, that whitelist will be
 | |
| 	  used instead of the internal bitbake one. Alternatively, BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE can be used
 | |
| 	  to extend the internal whitelist.
 | |
| 	- Perforce fetcher fix to use commandline options instead of being overriden by the environment
 | |
| 	- bb.utils.prunedir can cope with symlinks to directoriees without exceptions
 | |
| 	- use @rev when doing a svn checkout
 | |
| 	- Add osc fetcher (from Joshua Lock in Poky)
 | |
| 	- When SRCREV autorevisioning for a recipe is in use, don't cache the recipe
 | |
| 	- Add tryaltconfigs option to control whether bitbake trys using alternative providers
 | |
| 	  to fulfil failed dependencies. It defaults to off, changing the default since this
 | |
| 	  behaviour confuses many users and isn't often useful.
 | |
| 	- Improve lock file function error handling
 | |
| 	- Add username handling to the git fetcher (Robert Bragg)
 | |
| 	- Add support for HTTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY_IGNORE variables to the wget fetcher
 | |
| 	- Export more variables to the fetcher commands to allow ssh checkouts and checkouts through 
 | |
| 	  proxies to work better. (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Also allow user and pswd options in SRC_URIs globally (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Improve proxy handling when using mirrors (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Add bb.utils.prune_suffix function
 | |
| 	- Fix hg checkouts of specific revisions (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Fix wget fetching of urls with parameters specified (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Add username handling to git fetcher (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Set HOME environmental variable when running fetcher commands (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Make sure allowed variables inherited from the environment are exported again (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- When running a stage task in bbshell, run populate_staging, not the stage task (from Poky)
 | |
| 	- Fix + character escaping from PACKAGES_DYNAMIC (thanks Otavio Salvador)
 | |
| 	- Addition of BBCLASSEXTEND support for allowing one recipe to provide multiple targets (from Poky)
 | |
|

| 	- New task execution code supports multithreading with a simplistic
 | |
| 	  threading algorithm controlled by BB_NUMBER_THREADS
 | |
| 	- Change of the SVN Fetcher to keep the checkout around
 | |
| 	  courtsey of Paul Sokolovsky (#1367)

 | |
| 	- Add expand_cache to data_cache.py, caching expanded data (speedup)
 | |
| 	- Allow version field in DEPENDS (ignored for now)
 | |
| 	- Add abort flag support to the shell

 | |
| 	  courtsey pHilipp Zabel
 | |
| 	- Track the RDEPENDS of each package (rpurdie@openedhand.com)

 | |
| 	  (rpurdie@openedhand.com).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes in BitBake 1.3.2:
 | |
| 	- reintegration of make.py into BitBake
 | |
| 	- bbread is gone, use bitbake -e
 | |
| 	- lots of shell updates and bugfixes
 | |
| 	- Introduction of the .= and =. operator
 | |
| 	- Sort variables, keys and groups in bitdoc
 | |
| 	- Fix regression in the handling of BBCOLLECTIONS
 | |
| 	- Update the bitbake usermanual
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes in BitBake 1.3.0:
 | |
| 	- add bitbake interactive shell (bitbake -i)
 | |
| 	- refactor bitbake utility in OO style
 | |
| 	- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.data module
 | |
| 	- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.fetch module
 | |
| 	- the http/https/ftp fetcher will fail if the to be

| 	  to avoid unpacking the sourceforge mirror page)
 | |
| 	- Switch to a cow like data instance for persistent and non
 | |
| 	  persisting mode (called data_smart.py)
 | |
| 	- Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry
 | |
| 	  additional parameters
 | |

| 	  each data instance in memory when using a cache/persistent
 | |
| 	  storage

| 
 | |
| Changes in BitBake 1.2.1:
 | |
| 	The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the
 | |
| 	ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	- Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to
 | |
| 	  get a instance of a data class
 | |
| 	- bb.data.init() is a factory and the old bb.data methods are delegates
 | |
| 	- Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead.
 | |
| 	- Removed default arguments in bb.fetch
 | |
| 
 |
