<p>Zwelch: fix link to git repository</p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction =<br /> <br /> '''BitBake''' is, at its simplest, a tool for executing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_%28computing%29 tasks] and managing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata metadata]. As such, its similarities to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_make GNU make] and other build tools are readily apparent. It was inspired by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage_%28software%29 Portage], the package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. <br /> <br /> BitBake is the basis of the OpenEmbedded project, which is being used to build and maintain a number of embedded Linux distributions.<br /> <br /> = Links =<br /> <br /> * Manual: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html<br /> * Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/<br /> <br /> = Version information =<br /> <br /> OE-Core needs a fairly up-to-date version of BitBake; at minimum the most recent stable version is recommended. A sanity check on the BitBake version is performed at startup; if it is too old you will need to update before continuing.<br /> <br /> [[Category:User]]</div>
