[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] bitbake-worker: Fix regression with unbuffered logs

[Jason Wessel]

I noticed that I was seeing loss of the log files when hitting
control-c while debugging a function in bitbake.  In fact if you
take a recipe and replace its compile function as shown below let
it run for a few seconds and hit control-c, you will see first
hand that log data is not there.

do_compile () {
        while [ 1 ] ; do
                echo -n "Output date: "
                date
                sleep 1
        done
}

It turns out there was a regression introduced by commit:
d0f0e5d9e69 which created the bitbake worker.  Since the bitbake
worker is started in its own process space, it needs the exact
same code added from commit: 88429f018b where the problem was
fixed the first time around.
