I just updated my Poky/Yocto master and tried to use bitbake-whatchanged to see what was about to happen. I'm not sure I know how to read this and there doesn't seem to be any documentation other than the simple help provided by the script.
Here's part of what I saw: ------------------------------------------------- === Newly added tasks: (87 tasks) ninja-native: do_compile do_configure do_patch do_unpack do_install ldconfig-native: do_patch do_configure do_unpack do_compile do_install makedevs-native: do_install do_patch do_unpack do_compile do_configure python: do_populate_sysroot do_package do_fetch do_packagedata do_patch do_build do_configure do_compile do_install do_package_write_ipk do_unpack do_populate_lic do_package_qa unzip-native: do_compile do_unpack do_configure do_install do_patch gettext-minimal-native: do_configure do_install do_patch do_unpack do_compile perl-native: do_configure do_compile do_install do_unpack do_patch update-rc.d-native: do_install do_unpack do_patch do_configure do_compile texinfo-dummy-native: do_unpack do_compile do_patch do_configure do_install gnu-config-native: do_compile do_unpack do_install do_configure do_patch sgmlspl-native: do_patch do_install do_configure do_compile do_unpack u-boot-mkimage-native: do_configure do_patch do_compile do_unpack do_install imx6-demo-image: do_configure do_populate_lic do_compile do_install opkg-utils-native: do_configure do_install do_unpack do_compile do_patch cryptodev-linux-native: do_unpack do_install do_patch do_configure do_compile dosfstools-native: do_patch do_install do_unpack do_compile do_configure === PV changed: (57 tasks) linux-libc-headers: 3.17.7 -> 3.19 quilt-native: 0.63 -> 0.64 cups: 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2 pulseaudio: 5.0 -> 6.0 kern-tools-native: 0.2+gitAUTOINC+daab4442c2 -> 0.2+gitAUTOINC+cab17f8849 === Dependencies changed: (3101 tasks) speex: do_package do_package_qa do_packagedata do_populate_lic do_package_write_ipk do_compile do_configure do_populate_sysroot do_build do_install busybox: do_patch do_unpack do_build do_configure do_packagedata do_package_write_ipk do_populate_sysroot do_package_qa do_package do_fetch do_install do_compile do_populate_lic ... === Summary: (3245 changed, 1721 unchanged) Newly added: 87 PV changed: 57 PR changed: 0 Dependencies changed: 3101 ------------------------------------------------- A couple of questions: * I know that python was updated from 2.7.3 to 2.7.9 - why doesn't it show in the 'PV changed' section? * If there were 57 PV changes, why did only 5 get shown? * How can I tell what dependencies were changed - that section doesn't really tell me much more than certain recipes will have to be rebuilt because some dependency changed. Is there anything [more] useful that I can get from this tool? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
