| 16 | A build's quality can be influenced by many things. | ||
| 17 | For example, if you upgrade a recipe to use a new version of an upstream software | ||
| 18 | package or you experiment with some new configuration options, subtle changes | ||
| 19 | can occur that you might not detect until later. | ||
| 20 | Consider the case where your recipe is using a newer version of an upstream package. | ||
| 21 | In this case, a new version of a piece of software might introduce an optional | ||
| 22 | dependency on another library, which is auto-detected. | ||
| 23 | If that library has already been built when the software is building, | ||
| 24 | then the software will link to the built library and that library will be pulled | ||
| 25 | into your image along with the new software even if you did not want the | ||
| 26 | library. | ||
| 27 | </p> | ||
| 28 | <p> | ||
| 29 | The <code class="filename">buildhistory</code> class exists to help you maintain | ||
| 30 | the quality of your build output. | ||
| 31 | You can use the class to highlight unexpected and possibly unwanted | ||
| 32 | changes in the build output. | ||
| 33 | When you enable build history it records information about the contents of | ||
| 34 | each package and image and then commits that information to a local Git | ||
| 35 | repository where you can examine the information. | ||
