* devtool: stop always moving workspace to end of BBLAYERSPaul Eggleton2017-11-111-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that using bitbake-layers add-layer followed by a devtool command resulted in bitbake re-parsing all of the recipes, which is annoying. Upon closer inspection I could see that devtool was moving the workspace layer path to the end of BBLAYERS if it happened to be somewhere in the middle - there's no need for it to be doing this. This occurred because we were passing the current workspace path to remove and the "new" path to add even if the path is not being changed, and I think earlier versions of bb.utils.edit_bblayers_conf() didn't move the existing entry under these circumstances as it clearly does now. Fix it so we only pass the path to be removed if we're actually changing the path.

* devtool: fix handling of oe-local-files when source is in a subdirectoryPaul Eggleton2017-11-111-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If S points to a subdirectory of the source rather than the "base" of the source tree then we weren't handling the oe-local-files directory properly - it got extracted to the base of the tree but devtool update-recipe and devtool finish assumed it would be under S which would be the subdirectory, thus it would be missing and devtool would assume the files had been deleted and remove them from the recipe. Record the base of the source tree in the bbappend and read it into the in-memory workspace so we can use that to find out where oe-local-files should be found.

* devtool: ensure recipes devtool is working on are unlocked within the eSDKPaul Eggleton2017-09-181-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alongside reworking the way devtool extracts source, we now need to ensure that within the extensible SDK where task signatures are locked, the signatures of the tasks for the recipes being worked on get unlocked at the right time or otherwise we'll now get taskhash mismatches when running devtool modify on a recipe that was included in the eSDK such as the kernel (due to a separate bug). The existing mechanism for auto-unlocking recipes was a little weak and was happening too late, so I've reimplemented it so that: (a) it gets triggered immediately when the recipe/append is created (b) we avoid writing to the unlocked signatures file unnecessarily (since it's a global configuration file) and (c) within the eSDK configuration we whitelist SIGGEN_UNLOCKED_RECIPES to avoid unnecessary reparses every time we perform one of the devtool operations that does need to change this list. Fixes [YOCTO #11883] (not the underlying cause, but this manifestation of the issue).

* devtool: check locale and refuse to start if it isn't UTF-8Paul Eggleton2017-01-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to ensure the locale is UTF-8 or otherwise strange errors will occur later on during execution - the same reason we check this in BitBake itself. Unfortunately this check has to be before command line parsing and therefore showing the help text in response to --help, since that relies upon parsing bitbake's configuration (as we need to load plugins in other layers).

* devtool: Create unlocked-sigs.inc containing items in the workspaceRandy Witt2016-04-091-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a recipe is added to the workspace, the signatures for the tasks will change. This means that bitbake must be told to allow the signatures to be different if they are in locked-sigs.inc. This is done by creating an unlocked-sigs.inc file which contains all the recipes in the workspace each time devtool reads the workspace. So not only will necessary things get added, previously added items will be removed by virtue of them no longer being in the workspace. This also makes sure that the extensible sdk picks up unlocked-sigs.inc as part of the configuration.

* devtool: categorise and order subcommands in help outputPaul Eggleton2016-02-211-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The listing of subcommands in the --help output for devtool was starting to get difficult to follow, with commands appearing in no particular order (due to some being in separate modules and the order of those modules being parsed). Logically grouping the subcommands as well as being able to exercise some control over the order of the subcommands and groups would help, if we do so without losing the dynamic nature of the list (i.e. that it comes from the plugins). Argparse provides no built-in way to handle this and really, really makes it a pain to add, but with some subclassing and hacking it's now possible, and can be extended by any plugin as desired. To put a subcommand into a group, all you need to do is specify a group= parameter in the call to subparsers.add_parser(). you can also specify an order= parameter to make the subcommand sort higher or lower in the list (higher order numbers appear first, so use negative numbers to force items to the end if that's what you want). To add a new group, use subparsers.add_subparser_group(), supplying the name, description and optionally an order number for the group itself (again, higher numbers appear first).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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] (From OE-Core rev: 716d9b1f304a12bab61b15e3ce526977c055f074) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
