Make it easier for users to debug shell task failure by including some breadcrumbs in the emitted .run file that (hopefully) points to the .bb/.bbclass file where the shell function was defined. Unfortunately this won't work with functions with _append or _prepends, since BitBake wipes the filename/lineno information. This shouldn't be too hard to fix; for now, you'll just see comments like this for such functions: [YOCTO #7877] (Bitbake rev: 9747211cbb45401cbf4dd0409e9c80c648a178c6) Signed-off-by: Chris Laplante <chris.laplante@agilent.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
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
