I appreciate that the number of emails on the list on this topic make it
look like we have a lot of overlap.

If you look carefully at this patch you'll see that what this code does
is pull together information and generate a bitbake event containing
that information.

This is not something any other existing code does. It takes the data
from an existing data store and does not create any new one.

This is IMO a vast improvement over some of the earlier versions of
these patches so I'm planning to take this one.

Longer term we do need to reconcile buildhistory and packagedata as two
stores of very similar data but this patch doesn't complicate that
issue.

Cheers,

Richard
