16 | When things go wrong, debugging needs to be straightforward. | ||
17 | Because of this, the Yocto Project team included strong debugging | ||
18 | tools: | ||

21 | <li class="listitem"><p>Whenever a shared state package is written out, so is a | ||
22 | corresponding <code class="filename">.siginfo</code> file. | ||
23 | This practice results in a pickled python database of all | ||
24 | the metadata that went into creating the hash for a given shared state | ||
25 | package.</p></li> | ||
26 | <li class="listitem"><p>If BitBake is run with the <code class="filename">--dump-signatures</code> | ||
27 | (or <code class="filename">-S</code>) option, BitBake dumps out | ||
28 | <code class="filename">.siginfo</code> files in | ||
29 | the stamp directory for every task it would have executed instead of | ||
30 | building the specified target package.</p></li> | ||
31 | <li class="listitem"><p>There is a <code class="filename">bitbake-diffsigs</code> command that | ||
32 | can process these <code class="filename">.siginfo</code> files. | ||
33 | If one file is specified, it will dump out the dependency | ||
34 | information in the file. | ||
35 | If two files are specified, it will compare the two files and dump out | ||
36 | the differences between the two. | ||
37 | This allows the question of "What changed between X and Y?" to be | ||
38 | answered easily.</p></li> | ||
