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: Fix default function parameter assignment to a list

2015-08-19T17:05:44+00:00

With python you should not assign a list as the default value of a function parameter - because a list is mutable, the result will be that the first time a value is passed it will actually modify the default. Reference: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/gotchas/#mutable-default-arguments (Bitbake rev: 7859f7388f2e3f675d0e1527cfde18625f36f637) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton 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: fix set_extra_setting function

2014-03-25T13:26:55+00:00

The function is used to save additional variables in the configuration file when the user adds a new (key, value) pair from the Settings->Others. There was a problem though when the function was trying to retrieve an older instance of EXTRA_SETTINGS from the configuration file. Sometimes its value was returned as a dictionary and sometimes a string, which caused a crash when calling ast.literal_eval(). The reason of the problem must be a change in bitbake's parsing system. The changes will fix this issues. While analysing this problem I discovered that the variables were not saved properly in the configuration file after consecutive changes to Settings->Others because of the way saveConfigurationVar() from cooker.py works. This patch will also solve this issue. [YOCTO #5989] (Bitbake rev: bdbcd8866104c315fc9da631407d4280433dbfde) Signed-off-by: Marius Avram Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

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
