| 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: |

| 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 |
