2010-03-23Implement BBVERSIONSChris Larson
This implements a feature similar to BBCLASSEXTEND, but for generating multiple versions of a given recipe. For example: BBVERSIONS = "1.0 2.0 git". In addition to the above, one can utilize [a-b] style patterns, and can have a :<basever> postfix, which allows you to essentially name the range of versions. Both the current version and the basever end up in OVERRIDES, and the basever gets placed into the BPV variable. The default BPV, if none is specified, is the original PV of the recipe, before bbversions processing. In this way, you can do things like: BBVERSIONS = "1.0.[0-6]:1.0.0+ 1.0.[7-9]:1.0.7+" SRC_URI_append_1.0.7+ = "file://some_extra_patch.patch;patch=1" Or you can create a recipe per range, and name the recipe file as such: nano_1.0.7+.bb.

2010-02-26Implement ??= operatorChris Larson
??= is a lazy, conditional assignment. Whereas a ?= immediately assigns to the variable if the variable has not yet been set, ??= does not apply the default assignment until the end of the parse. As a result, the final ??= for a given variable is used, as opposed to the first as in ?=. Note that the initial implementation relies upon finalise() to apply the defaults, so a "bitbake -e" without specifying a recipe will not show the defaults as set by ??=. Moving application of the default into getVar adds too large a performance hit. We may want to revisit this later. Signed-off-by: Chris Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com>

2006-05-31bitbake/lib/bb/fetch/*: Implement special 'now' handling for BitBakeHolger Hans Peter Freyther
Patch courtsey Justin Patrin to teach BitBake SRCDATE="now" handling. If SRCDATE is set to now we will not look at the temporary DL_DIR for a saved tarball as we want to download a new version. OpenEmbedded should consider stamping the do fetch phase. Justin thanks for the patch and sorry for all the trouble bitbake/doc/manual/usermanual.xml: Document the 'now' method for svn,svk and cvs
