+BitBake 'Fetch' clearcase implementation
+
+The clearcase fetcher is used to retrieve files from a ClearCase repository.
+
+Usage in the recipe:
+
+    SRC_URI = "ccrc://cc.example.org/ccrc;vob=/example_vob;module=/example_module"
+    SRCREV = "EXAMPLE_CLEARCASE_TAG"
+    PV = "${@d.getVar("SRCREV", False).replace("/", "+")}"
+
+The fetcher uses the rcleartool or cleartool remote client, depending on which one is available.
+
+Supported SRC_URI options are:
+
+- vob
+    (required) The name of the clearcase VOB (with prepending "/")
+
+- module
+    The module in the selected VOB (with prepending "/")
+
+    The module and vob parameters are combined to create
+    the following load rule in the view config spec:
+                load <vob><module>
+
+- proto
+    http or https
+
+Related variables:
+
+    CCASE_CUSTOM_CONFIG_SPEC
+            Write a config spec to this variable in your recipe to use it instead
+            of the default config spec generated by this fetcher.
+            Please note that the SRCREV loses its functionality if you specify
+            this variable. SRCREV is still used to label the archive after a fetch,
+            but it doesn't define what's fetched.
+
+User credentials:
+    cleartool:
+            The login of cleartool is handled by the system. No special steps needed.
+
+    rcleartool:
+            In order to use rcleartool with authenticated users an `rcleartool login` is
+            necessary before using the fetcher.
