2012-05-23bitbake: support $BITBAKE_UI environmentEnrico Scholz
Patch adds support for a $BITBAKE_UI environment variable which allows to configure the preferred user interface. Although an '-u' option (which will override the environment variable) exists already, it was required to specify this option on every invocation of bitbake. Because user interface is instanciated very early in the program it is not possible to use bitbake.conf for setting up a default. An environment variable (which acts in a similar category like $PAGER or $EDITOR) is a simple way for configuring the default.

2011-06-22doc/usermanual.xml: Tweaks for the manualBrandon Stafford
This patch contains what I hope are non-controversial improvements to the manual. Most of the changes are single characters, but the line-by-line diff makes the patch look large.

2011-06-09Drop psyco supportRichard Purdie
At best it gave 1-2% improvement now, its 32 bit x86 only and isn't supported after python 2.6. PyPy is probably a better option now. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2011-05-06bitbake docs: use dblatex to build the pdf bitbake manualDarren Hart
Fix [BUGID #593] The current manual build fails for printing formats which use latex as an intermediate format. This bug has been reported in multiple locations and I haven't found a solution posted to any of them. Using --with-dblatex uses dblatex to make the conversion and successfully generates the pdf. It adds a dependency on dblatex and its dependencies.

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.

Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>
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>

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.
