The get_hash() function is used to decide if the base configuration has changed
and hence whether a reparse is required. The vardepvalue flag's value was not
expanded but it is often used in contexts like:
METADATA_REVISION = "${@base_detect_revision(d)}"
METADATA_REVISION[vardepvalue] = "${METADATA_REVISION}"
which in it's unexpanded form means reparsing doesn't happen when it should
as the data appears unchanged. Update get_hash to expand the values of
vardepvalue so reparsing works as expected. This avoids basehash mismatch
errors such as the one recently caused by using METADATA_REVISION in poky.conf's
DISTRO_VERSION variable. The issue there could be exposed by a recipe using
DISTRO_VERSION with the sequence:
bitbake os-release
<change the revision of the metadata with a dummy commit>
bitbake os-release -C install
which was caused because METADATA_REVISION changed but the metadata didn't reparse.

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
