[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 0/2] variable/include tracking and _remove

[Peter Seebach]

These aren't entirely related, but I don't think I could get
the _remove feature separated out cleanly, and there was no way
I could implement it on a tree without the variable tracking. :)

Patch #1 is a rebase/merge/cleanup of the variable and include tracking
feature I've previously sent in; this version is much cleaned up,
and produces a lot less output (<1MB instead of >10MB for a typical
project in our build system) which is substantially more informative.

Patch #2 is a proof-of-concept demonstration of how to make a _remove
keyword. Usage:

        DUMMY = "foo"
        DUMMY += "bar"
        DUMMY_remove = "foo"
        # DUMMY="bar"

This only works for space-separated lists, but we have a LOT of those.
The only obvious things I see that really are lists, and aren't
space-separated, are OVERRIDES and PATH, and I'm pretty sure that
we don't *need* to remove things from those.
