The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Catch NoProvider exception

2024-11-21T12:16:28+00:00

When the recipe provided by (-r, --recipe) is not found tinfoil raises an exception that is not catched for readability, example: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/.../poky/bitbake/bin/bitbake-getvar", line 45, in d = tinfoil.parse_recipe(args.recipe) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/.../poky/bitbake/lib/bb/tinfoil.py", line 633, in parse_recipe fn = self.get_recipe_file(pn) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/.../poky/bitbake/lib/bb/tinfoil.py", line 550, in get_recipe_file raise bb.providers.NoProvider('Unable to find any recipe file matching "%s"' % pn) bb.providers.NoProvider: Unable to find any recipe file matching "aaa" (Bitbake rev: 06aa6c292813a28c84736193b550fb2d18884d43) Signed-off-by: Talel BELHAJSALEM Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: use finalizeData tinfoil API to get identical result to "bitbake -e"

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Treat undefined variables as empty with --value

2023-09-28T11:38:26+00:00

Rather than outputting the string "None" for undefined variables, output only a linefeed (the same as for variables that are defined to the empty string). (Bitbake rev: f3ba9c3726ec7b38b557100d8a2d4b6a1446a968) Signed-off-by: Peter Kjellerstedt Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Add a (suppressable) error for undefined variables

2023-09-28T11:38:26+00:00

If an undefined variable or variable flag is specified, bitbake-getvar will now fail with an error message indicating this. The error can be supressed with --ignore-undefined, which matches the previous behavior. This also changes the errors related to specifying --flag or --unexpand without --value so that they are sent to stderr rather than stdout.

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Make --value imply --quiet

2023-09-26T09:37:17+00:00

It does not make any sense to get log output from bitbake-getvar when the --value option is used as the log output is sent to stdout and thus interferes with the output of the variable's value.

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Make --quiet work with --recipe

2023-09-26T09:37:17+00:00

Initializing Tinfoil with setup_logging = False only has an effect when recipe parsing is not needed. To make it work regardless of if --recipe is used, manipulate the quiet parameter to Tinfoil.prepare() instead.

bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Add a quiet command line argument

2023-01-26T21:50:31+00:00

bitbake-getvar does not have a way to silence bitbake server's logger and that makes the tool hard to use for text processing. This is especially true when one wants to get a bitbake value to be piped to some other utility and instead we get uncontrolled logging messages or warnings together with bitbake's variable value. Example without quiet: bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE NOTE: Starting bitbake server... qemux86-64 With quiet: bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE --quiet qemux86-64 (Bitbake rev: af354e975d0b4c26d0e91e3c82946b093bc11b45) Signed-off-by: Paulo Neves Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake: enable python warnings at the first opportunity

2021-09-19T10:33:14+00:00

We really do want to see those, as they tend to turn into hard errors eventually, as what happened with collections vs collections.abc in python 3.10. (Bitbake rev: bc43fbb86361a21dc2d5deb910810c5a77fdabe8) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
