[bitbake-devel] [PATCH v2 0/9] Multiplexed task logs / bitbake fixes for fetch2

[Jason Wessel]

This is the second version of fixes and features for bit bake logging.

New in this series:
   Patch 5 - Change to the api for passing the screen connection
   Patch 6 - Fix logging in fetch2
   Patch 7 - Fix fetch2 failures to a read-only GITDIR
   Patch 8/9 - OE Core specific changes related to screen as a reference

-- Previous information from first patch set --

This patch set is intended to provide a semi real time aspect to the
logging to stdout.  Originally I was just interested in the output of
the do_compile and I will still consider adding that capability, but I
ended up using the logger generically.  It provides the ability to see
all the task logs multiplexed to stdout by PID.

More recently I decided I wanted to be able to toggle the logs on and
off while bitbake was already running, so that was added into the
series as well.  After seeing how that worked, I also decided I wanted
to be able to run the dev shell in a single terminal window.  The last
patch in the series is for the OE-Core, but since I made reference to
this patch I included in this series for completeness.

As a foot note, I have actually been using a more primitive version of
this patch set for the last 4 weeks that was controlled only by the
local.conf setting and used it to diagnose quite a few different
problems as well as to just understand what it is that bitbake is
doing at times.

Thanks,
Jason.
