[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/1] packagehistory improvement

[Paul Eggleton]

This is the initial implementation of the improvement for
packagehistory.bbclass. This bbclass is intended to be used to help
track changes to package output over time and hopefully catch unusual
situations such as a package doubling in size. You can try it out by
adding INHERIT += "packagehistory" to your local.conf, building
something that performs do_package and then looking in TMPDIR/pkghistory
to view the output.

I've tried to keep it fairly simple - i.e. no new storage backend, just
plain files, although I anticipate most people using it will want to
store the output in a git repository. There's potential for recording
more per-recipe / per-package information, if there are suggestions I'd
be keen to hear them.


Please review the following changes for suitability for inclusion. If you have
any objections or suggestions for improvement, please respond to the patches. If
you agree with the changes, please provide your Acked-by.
