2015-07-27devtool: also load plugins from BBPATHChristopher Larson
This makes it easier to extend, as a layer can add its own sub-commands. Argument parsing is also separated into two steps, the same way it's done in recipetool, as we need access to the global command-line arguments early, before plugins are loaded, both for debugging arguments and for the bitbake path (we need to load the bitbake module to get tinfoil, which is now needed to load the plugins). Rather than constructing tinfoil once and passing it through into sub-commands for their use, we have to construct it for configuration metadata, use it, and then shut it down, as some sub-commands call out to recipetool, which needs its own tinfoil instance, and therefore needs to acquire the bitbake lock. If we're still holding the lock at that point, that's clearly a problem. [YOCTO #7625] Signed-off-by: Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2015-06-18devtool: use DevtoolError for error handlingMarkus Lehtonen
Use DevtoolError exception more widely for handling error cases. This exception is now caught in the main script and raising it can be used to exit with an error. This hopefully simplifies error handling. The change also makes exit codes more consistent, always returning '1' when an error occurs. Signed-off-by: Markus Lehtonen <markus.lehtonen@linux.intel.com>

2015-05-15devtool: if workspace layer exists, still ensure it's in bblayers.confPaul Eggleton
When we run devtool, if the workspace layer already exists but isn't in bblayers.conf (perhaps because it was previously created but subsequently removed from bblayers.conf by the user) then we should add it and notify the user, otherwise devtool operations won't work.

2015-04-27devtool: handle . in recipe namePaul Eggleton
Names such as glib-2.0 are valid (and used) recipe names, so we need to support them. Fixes [YOCTO #7643]. Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

2014-12-21scripts/devtool: add development helper toolPaul Eggleton
Provides an easy means to work on developing applications and system components with the build system. For example to "modify" the source for an existing recipe: $ devtool modify -x pango /home/projects/pango Parsing recipes..done. NOTE: Fetching pango... NOTE: Unpacking... NOTE: Patching... NOTE: Source tree extracted to /home/projects/pango NOTE: Recipe pango now set up to build from /home/paul/projects/pango The pango source is now extracted to /home/paul/projects/pango, managed in git, with each patch as a commit, and a bbappend is created in the workspace layer to use the source in /home/paul/projects/pango when building. Additionally, you can add a new piece of software: $ devtool add pv /home/projects/pv NOTE: Recipe /path/to/workspace/recipes/pv/pv.bb has been automatically created; further editing may be required to make it fully functional The latter uses recipetool to create a skeleton recipe and again sets up a bbappend to use the source in /home/projects/pv when building. Having done a "devtool modify", can also write any changes to the external git repository back as patches next to the recipe: $ devtool update-recipe mdadm Parsing recipes..done. NOTE: Removing patch mdadm-3.2.2_fix_for_x32.patch NOTE: Removing patch gcc-4.9.patch NOTE: Updating recipe mdadm_3.3.1.bb [YOCTO #6561] [YOCTO #6653] [YOCTO #6656] Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
