bitbake: hob: removal of hob ui and associated ui files

2016-03-02T22:41:23+00:00

We've been gearing up the Toaster web UI to replace the Hob (GTK+ based) UI for some time now; Hob has basically been on life support for the past few releases. As of late last month in master, Toaster has the capability to select the packages in an image, removing the last thing that Hob could do that Toaster couldn't. To recap, the reasons why Hob is being removed include: - The code is tightly woven into BitBake, making it fragile. This means it needs significant QA and maintenance on an ongoing basis. - Some of the implementation is not ideal; we'll be able to remove some cruft from BitBake and OE-Core at the same time. - It's GTK+ 2 based, not the current GTK+ 3. - Toaster is now a much more capable UI and is being actively maintained The discussion about removing hob can be found at: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2016-February/000082.html (Bitbake rev: be2cceea159c6ca9111eff3df87b98513eab6d72) Signed-off-by: bavery Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: Allow Hob to run images on a custom simulator, other than qemu

2016-02-18T07:41:15+00:00

The current behavior of Hob is that there is a "Run Image" button which becomes visible only for qemu images. My suggested change is: - if an image is selected and it is qemu-compatible, let the "Run image" button be named "Run qemu image" - if an image is selected and it is not qemu-compatible, let the same button show up with the name "Run custom image", and besides that, an option shows-up to allow the selection of the custom script (by default it points out to runqemu script) to be used for launching this custom image Note: in case there is more than one toggled image (qemu runnable or deployable), when the user clicks the "Run custom image" button, a dialog will be presented, allowing to choose between any of the existing images.

bitbake: bitbake: Add explict getVar param for (non) expansion

2015-06-23T10:57:53+00:00

Rather than just use d.getVar(X), use the more explict d.getVar(X, False) since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would be nice. This is the first step towards that. This patch was mostly made using the command: sed -e 's:$getVar([^,()]*$\s*):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *` (Bitbake rev: 659ef95c9b8aced3c4ded81c48bcc0fbde4d429f) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: hob: add "recipes/images/" to BBFILES when Hob is launched

2014-04-08T12:07:25+00:00

The path for "recipes/images/" was not added in BBFILES when Hob had to search for an image recipe. Therefore, it could not find it and an error occurred. This path needs to be added when Hob is launched. [HOB #6086] (Bitbake rev: 35c67281775b08925957c32663d587d486944e0e) Signed-off-by: Irina Patru Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: hob: fix customization of empty image recipe

2014-04-04T14:07:01+00:00

This fixes a problem which happened when you tried to build an image by selecting 'Start with an empty image recipe' from the Image configuration page of hob. The reason on of the bug was that the name of the resulting image was threated the same way as ordinary custom images, when in fact they should use the default name: "hob-image", because they do not derive from any other recipe.

bitbake: hob: output filenames based on initial recipe name

2014-03-24T17:54:46+00:00

If a recipe for an image was edited from the hob interface the name of the files outputed in the /tmp/deploy/images/${MACHINE}/ and the temporary recipes from /recipes/images/ contained only the generic name "hob-image". From now on both the temporary recipes and the output from the deploy/ directory will contain the name of the base recipe appended by the "-edited" suffix, in the case when a base image recipe was edited. The base recipe can be a standard recipe (e.g core-image-minimal) or a custom created and saved by the user. For example, if core-image-minimal is edited the deploy/ directory will contain core-image-minimal-edited-20140318-140428-qemux86.ext3 and the recipes/images/ directory will contain the recipe core-image-minimal-edited-20140318-140428.bb.

bitbake: hob: create a base hob image used to create custom images

2014-02-28T14:48:40+00:00

In order to remove hob-image.bb from meta-hob, a hob-image.bb should be created somewhere in the build directory. I've saved it in build/recipes/images directory, and moved the templates to recipes/images/custom (here are those templates saved by the user). The image is created when hob starts. Also it appends to BBFILES the directory where it is created. Removed images directory from meta-hob.

bitbake: hob: replace the use of hob-toolchain with populate_sdk task

2014-02-25T08:06:11+00:00

Now bitbake has an API to run individual task for targets. Hob can use this to build the sdk, instead of using the hob- toolchain. (Bitbake rev: 4a5009036e9cb38f6e0260a88278948931073bc6) Signed-off-by: Cristiana Voicu Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: hob: No need for enable_proxy and same_proxy in conf file

2014-01-28T00:52:57+00:00

Hob doesn't read these variable from file and bitbake doesn't use them, so they shouldn't be set in conf file. (Bitbake rev: a8c9df86b96e27dc49028c2da42034d13988960c) Signed-off-by: Irina Patru Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: hob: Don't always save proxy values in conf file

2014-01-28T00:52:57+00:00

If enable_proxy is not activated, Hob should not save the proxy values in the conf file when user hits save button. [ HOB #5308 ] (Bitbake rev: fbe0851221ecfcefea5bdd4b629a05ed4f5ac189) Signed-off-by: Irina Patru Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
