YO Buildroot, what's up?
_**yobr**_ is a graphical https://buildroot.org/[Buildroot] build
monitor:
image::screenshots/yobr.png[yobr window]
== Installation
Install yobr from https://pypi.org/[PyPI]:
----
$ sudo pip3 install yobr
----
== Usage
The installed `yobr` program accepts two positional arguments:
----
$ yobr BR-ROOT-DIR [BR-BUILD-DIR]
----
`__BR-ROOT-DIR__` (mandatory)::
Buildroot's root directory (where to find its main `Makefile`).
`__BR-BUILD-DIR__` (optional)::
Buildroot's build directory, where all the package build directories
are.
+
This directory does _not_ need to exist when you start yobr.
+
Default: `__BR-ROOT-DIR__/output/build`.
yobr only works with Buildroot{nbsp}≥{nbsp}2019.08.
yobr can take many seconds to start because it executes
----
$ make -s --no-print-directory show-info
----
to get information about the configured packages.
Once started, what you see is:
Global build and installed status progress bar (top)::
The current number of _built_ and _installed_ packages (target and
host).
Package build states::
The individual build states of each package.
+
Each package build state has:
+
* The package's name.
* A backgroud colour which indicates the package build stage.
+
Click **Help** and then **Build stage legend** to see the stage-colour
mapping.
* A tiny progress bar which shows how many of its _direct_ dependencies
(including itself) are currently _built_.
+
This progress bar is hidden as soon as the package is built.
+
Click a package build state to select it, showing its details on the
right.
Package build state details (right)::
The details of a given package build state (when you select it).
+
The details include the selected package build state's build stage, its
version, and lists of package build states for each of its _direct_
dependencies and dependants.
+
Click a dependency package build state to select it globally.
Press **Ctrl**+**F** to select a package build state with a globbing
pattern. For example, `ho*cur*` selects `host-ncurses`.
yobr periodically (every two seconds by default) checks the existence of
package build stamp files to update its window. Click **State** to
change the refresh rate. The status bar shows the last update time.
