Developer workflow improvements as documented in the following bugzilla entry:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6662

Todo list

SDK

  • Properly report failures in bitbake execution during install (output is currently discarded)
  • Prevent do_rootfs itself from executing on install - we only need the tasks that it depends upon
  • Write test script for SDK
  • Randy: getting errors from bitbake about changed signatures - behaviour change after Hongxu's patch?
  • Update environment setup script to use buildsystem toolchain -- Done but needs testing and function dependent on uninative - Randy
  • Fix runqemu(and possibly other tools?) since we no longer have the nativesdk sysroot (Add them to buildtools-lite?)
  • Refactor to move functionality to SDK classes rather than meta-newsdk recipe
  • nativesdk-qemu-helper_1.0.bb and qemu-helper_1.0.bb don't publish the same set of files. Investigate, since runqemu(and possibly other things) may need to come from the buildsystem's native sysroot.

devtool

  • Add support for plugins in multiple layers
  • Support 'devtool modify linux-yocto' - externalsrc doesn't seem to work here at the moment -- Started, paused until Bruce's patchset is ready - Paul
  • Add an option for modify / add to use the same directory for source and build where that's required

recipetool

  • Rudimentary spec file conversion?
