bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Created unique tags for glossary variables.

2018-12-27T13:08:30+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #12399] The bug was to get the BitBake User Manual into the YP Mega-manual. All the changes here create unique tags used with variables in the BitBake Manual. Prior to the fix, tags were identical between like variables in the YP reference manual and the BitBake User Manual. The reason for this is because when I created the BitBake manual's glossary, it was a cut-and-paste operation to get the bulk of the work started. At the time, the BitBake User Manual was not a part of the Mega-manual. Once we decided to include the BitBake User Manual as part of the Mega-Manual, building the mega-manual produced warnings for all these duplicate links. To fix, I have updated the variable tags in the BitBake User Manual to use the following form: 'var-bb-' The tags used in the YP ref-manual follow this form (original): 'var-' (Bitbake rev: fb6de2057aae3fbdf37f007d2e47794b332020e1) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added hard-spacing to "_remove" example.

2018-10-31T21:40:36+00:00

Rendering the manual to its HTML form was collapsing the two leading and four trailing whitespace characters into single whitespace characters. I inserted multiple " " strings to force the spacing to come through. (Bitbake rev: 701f76f773a6e77258f307a4f8e2ec1a8552f6f3) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updates to variable wildcard support.

2018-10-29T16:54:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #12390] Applied some fixes to the variable wildcard support documentation in the BitBake manual. Wording changes and changes to make links referencing Python syntax go to version 3 rather than version 2.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added wildcarding descriptions

2018-10-29T16:54:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #12390] Added specific descriptions for how wildcarding works for a variety of variables and files (e.g. append files). (Bitbake rev: 0a4377cb1837ede213d9640344f4908de3689d91) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: data: Fix whitespace on _remove operations

2018-10-18T09:59:26+00:00

We have some slightly odd behaviours with the current implementation of _remove operations. For example: TEST = " A B" TEST_remove = "C" would trigger TEST to become "A B" even thought it doesn't contain "C". In particular, this means that an inactive remove operator added in a bbappend could change the task checksum which is not desireable. Fix the operation to preserve whitespace, adding new tests to make this explict and test further corner cases. Also update the manual to match.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added "number_threads" varflag

2018-06-19T16:09:17+00:00

You can now limit on a task-specific basis the number of threads a task will use. This is useful for machines that have high numbers of cores and need to be rate-limited due to various resource constraints.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated "Task Checksums and Setscene" section

2018-04-12T21:25:17+00:00

Fixes [#YOCTO 12030] Updated the "Task Checksums and Setscene" section to provide a bit of user information around the bitbake-dumpsigs use that lets a user examine signatures and inputs that determine if a do_compile task is indeed supposed to be run. Added more explanation of how a user can examine signatures used to determine if a do_compile task is indeed supposed to be run.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated "Events" for BuildStarted event

2018-01-16T20:34:02+00:00

BitBake now fires off one "BuildStarted" event per configuration when it is configured for multiple configurations (multiconfig). I updated the bullet item for "bb.envent.BuildStarted()" to indicate that behavior.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual-metadata: include a space on a append example

2017-10-07T22:20:41+00:00

By definition, the override operator "_append" does not include a space, so include it. (Bitbake rev: 6775e2de9067d8f472d7bfb5b78ec835a5688755) Signed-off-by: Leonardo Sandoval Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
