2=======

4BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
5efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
6One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
7stacks using a task-oriented approach.

19Please refer to
20http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
21for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
22for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
23but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
24the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
25branch, type:
26
27 git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
