Enrico Scholz b92918eb0e bitbake: fetch2/crate: create versioned 'name' entries
It is common for rust packages to depend on different versions of the
same crate.  E.g.

|    crate://crates.io/windows_x86_64_msvc/0.42.2 \
|    crate://crates.io/windows_x86_64_msvc/0.48.0 \

Identification only by the plain crate name makes the sha256sum
ambiguous

| SRC_URI[windows_x86_64_msvc.sha256sum] = "9aec5da331524158c6d1a4ac0ab1541149c0b9505fde06423b02f5ef0106b9f0"
| SRC_URI[windows_x86_64_msvc.sha256sum] = "1a515f5799fe4961cb532f983ce2b23082366b898e52ffbce459c86f67c8378a"

and requires lot of manual work to fix the SRC_URI list.

Making the 'name' property unique by appending the version allows
direct copy & paste of reported sha256sum errors to complete the
crates list.

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:
    https://www.openembedded.org/

Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:
    https://docs.yoctoproject.org

Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.

Contributing
------------

Please refer to
https://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

Mailing list:

    https://lists.openembedded.org/g/bitbake-devel

Testing
-------

Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.

To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed. Git must be correctly configured, in
particular the user.email and user.name values must be set.

The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build
environment (i.e. `source oe-init-build-env` is used). If this is not the case, run the
testsuite as follows:

    export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH
    bin/bitbake-selftest
