I came up with the following to ensure I have a log of every bitbake
command I run along with some useful stats. Feel free to use it or flame it:


#!/bin/bash
TIMESTAMP=$(date -u "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
LOG=$(mktemp --suffix=".log" bb-$TIMESTAMP-XXX)
if [ -z "$LOG" ]; then
	echo "ERROR: failed to create log file"
	exit 1
fi

(
	echo "Start: $TIMESTAMP"
	echo "========================================"
	/usr/bin/time 2>&1 -v bitbake $@
	echo "========================================"
	echo "End: $(date -u '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"
) | tee $LOG

echo "Logfile: $LOG"
