| 16 | BitBake also contains a set of "fetcher" modules that allow | ||
| 17 | retrieval of source code from various types of sources. | ||
| 18 | For example, BitBake can get source code from a disk with the metadata, from websites, | ||
| 19 | from remote shell accounts or from Source Code Management (SCM) systems | ||
| 20 | like <code class="filename">cvs/subversion/git</code>. | ||
| 21 | </p> | ||
| 22 | <p> | ||
| 23 | Fetchers are usually triggered by entries in | ||
| 24 | <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-SRC_URI" title="SRC_URI">SRC_URI</a></code>. | ||
| 25 | You can find information about the options and formats of entries for specific | ||
| 26 | fetchers in the BitBake manual located in the | ||
| 27 | <code class="filename">bitbake/doc/manual</code> directory of the | ||
| 28 | <a class="link" href="../dev-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">Source Directory</a>. | ||
| 29 | </p> | ||

| 31 | One useful feature for certain Source Code Manager (SCM) fetchers is the ability to | ||
| 32 | "auto-update" when the upstream SCM changes version. | ||
| 33 | Since this ability requires certain functionality from the SCM, not all | ||
| 34 | systems support it. | ||
| 35 | Currently Subversion, Bazaar and to a limited extent, Git support the ability to "auto-update". | ||
| 36 | This feature works using the <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-SRCREV" title="SRCREV">SRCREV</a></code> | ||
| 37 | variable. | ||
| 38 | See the | ||
| 39 | "<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/platdev-appdev-srcrev.html" target="_self">Using an External SCM</a>" section | ||
| 40 | in the Yocto Project Development Manual for more information. | ||
