    Design documnet for Recipe creation/import script

* Purpose

The feature is from Yocto 1.2 Bug 1656. A script or similar system
that would allow you to give is an upstream URL, tarball, patch set,
package (SRPM, or debian style) and generate a recipe based on those
instructions. 

Name it with bitbake-createbb, and integrate into the build system
to use the build system infrastructure that similiar with bitbake-runtask.

* Usage:
bitbake-createbb <SRC_URI> [PATCH_SRC_URI]

* Steps
1 download the source package frowm the SRC_RUI
2 get package name and version from package or tarball name. 
3 get summary and description from SRPM spec file or debian control file, or from configure files. 
4 get license and license checksum. 
5 get dependent packages
  |-- just parse spec file or debian control file
  |-- or get them by parse configure files
6 remove downloaded files

A bit off-topic: Where is the location for these kind of documents?

Is there any work started regarding this?
Will this be part of bitbake?
Python will be it's "implementation" language?

Best Regards,
Pedro Algarvio.

You should check out autospectacle[1] that I linked to in the bug 
report. It does a lot of guessing using clever tricks like searching 
Freshmeat, doap files, READMES etc to get a description[2] and analysing 
configure.ac[3], qmake[4], etc. to determine dependencies.

The autospectacle perl script is reasonably well commented and quite 
readable.

I'm not suggesting we adopt all of the features in it but many of them 
are useful techniques for this effort.

Regards,
Joshua

Thanks for your reply.
I have checked out and read the autospectacle, and show me the direction.
Right now I want to get the NAME, description, license and checksum, 
depends and some simple inheritance, do you think that is enough for 
this feature? If not, what's more?

Thanks & Regards,
Kai

I think that would be a very good start, yes.
