9BitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project. It was inspired by
10the Portage package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. In
112004, the OpenEmbedded project was split the project into two distinct pieces:
12
13- BitBake, a generic task executor
14- OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by BitBake
15
16Today, BitBake is the primary build tool of OpenEmbedded based projects, such as
17the Yocto Project.
