Subject: bitbake-whatchanged usefulness?
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 05:12:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54EDBC4A.70306@mlbassoc.com> (raw)
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:

-------------------------------------------------
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?
