Hey pals, unknown readers,
after the wonderful work of Richard (once again of o-hand.com fame)
on the Caching I'm confident we can release a new version of BitBake
before the end of this decade, aeh next week I mean. The chosen
release version was 1.4 and some of the slogans are "It could suck
more", "N g F i A", "El Cattivo"....
For the release process to proceed we need (for now):
-Many people testing this release. We need people to test it and
report success and failure. Some more stuff on this later in this mail
Why this release is good:
-It fixes bugs in RPEPENDS handling
-It speeds up BitBake
-It is way faster on parsing and cached loading
-It is way faster on stuff like building glibc
-It can build OpenEmbedded branches and .dev
What is still broken:
-Many of the known issues are still present
-poke of the bitbake shell is currently broken
-your favorite issue
What will the next (major) release bring:
-The C-Parser
-More speed improvements
-The fix for your issue
-More test coverage (most important)
How to proceed (The Summary):
-Test bitbake 1.3.9 and report failure and success
-Feel free to improve the bitbake test suite
-We will copy trunk to the 1.4 branch and do bug fix releases from
this branch
-Trunk will be open for more major changes
comments, ideas, money/donations?
regards h.
