| |
| BitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project. It was inspired by |
| the Portage package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. In |
| 2004, the OpenEmbedded project was split the project into two distinct pieces: |
| |
| - BitBake, a generic task executor |
| - OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by BitBake |
| |
| Today, BitBake is the primary build tool of OpenEmbedded based projects, such as |
| the Yocto Project. |
