The renaming of the __depends variable to __base_depends and file watches needs to occurs for all multiconfigs, not just the base config. Failing to do this for all multiconfigs will result in a huge increase in the size of the parsing cache (about 5x for a single mulitconfig) because all multiconfig caches will still depend on the base config files. This will also seen a similar jump in the amount of time required to load the parsing cache from memory, both because the cache is larger and because of explosion of additional existence checks that must be done for the base files.

Bitbake
=======
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:

Please refer to
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
