| 4 | BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run |
| 5 | efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. |
| 6 | One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software |
| 7 | stacks using a task-oriented approach. |

| 19 | Please refer to |
| 20 | http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded |
| 21 | for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended |
| 22 | for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) |
| 23 | but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send |
| 24 | the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current |
| 25 | branch, type: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org |
