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:

    https://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

Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.

Contributing

------------

Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/

for full details on how to submit changes.

As a quick guide, patches should be sent to [email protected]

The git command to do that would be:

    git send-email -M -1 --to [email protected]

If you're sending a patch related to the BitBake manual, make sure you copy

the Yocto Project documentation mailing list:

    git send-email -M -1 --to [email protected] --cc [email protected]

Testing

-------

Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.

You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since

it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is

recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also

appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.

To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed.

The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build

environment (i.e. `source oe-init-build-env` is used). If this is not the case, run the

testsuite as follows:

    export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH

    bin/bitbake-selftest

The testsuite can alternatively be executed using pytest, e.g. obtained from PyPI (in this

case, the PATH is configured automatically):

    pytest
