Preamble
========

The latest iteration of this patchset is available at
https://github.com/kanavin/bitbake
I recommend taking the patches from there to ensure that
you are not trying out outdated code.

For the rationale and design guidelines please see this message:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1913

Left out for now but will be done later:

- base bitbake configs (a way to declare the common parts between several bitbake build configurations just once, like a parent 'class')
(this is inspired by a similar mechannism in yocto-autobuilder)

- documentation

- official configuration repository (this probably depends on oe-core being
populated with a rich, useful set of fragments, and providing sstate for
official configurations)

Amble *scratch* HOWTO
=====================

1. If you don't know where to start, list available configurations, and pick one:

===
alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/bitbake$ bin/bitbake-setup list
Default parameter values are in /home/alex/.bitbake-setup/config - adjust as needed.

Fetching configuration repository git://github.com/kanavin/bitbake-setup-configurations.git;protocol=https;branch=main;rev=main into /home/alex/.bitbake-setup/configurations

Available configurations:
poky-alex	Poky reference distribution, with alex fixes
poky-kirkstone	Poky reference distribution, kirkstone long term support release (supported until April 2026)
poky-ng	Poky-ng configuration: like poky but built from individual repositories
===

2. Then build is initialized this way:
===
alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/bitbake$ bin/bitbake-setup init poky-ng
Default parameter values are in /home/alex/.bitbake-setup/config - adjust as needed.

Configuration summary:
This is the default build configuration for the openembedded-core layer.

Additional information is in /home/alex/builds/poky-ng/build-default/conf/conf-notes.txt

Run /home/alex/builds/poky-ng/build-default/build-targets to execute the default build targets for this configuration.
Source the environment using '. /home/alex/builds/poky-ng/build-default/init-build-env' to run builds from the command line.
The bitbake build configuration (local.conf, bblayers.conf and more) can be found in /home/alex/builds/poky-ng/build-default/conf
===

Note: 'init' sub-command can also take a path or a URL with a configuration file directly.
You can see how those files look like here:
https://github.com/kanavin/bitbake-setup-configurations

3. The above message refers to a one-liner shell script that would build the targets
specified in the chosen configuration:
===
alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/bitbake$ cat /home/alex/builds/poky-alex/build-gadget/build-targets
. /home/alex/builds/poky-alex/build-gadget/init-build-env && bitbake core-image-minimal
===

4. You should also source the environment, and then subsequent status/update commands
will not require a parameter telling bitbake-setup where the initialized build is.

5. To check if the build configuration needs to be updated, run:
===
Default parameter values are in /home/alex/.bitbake-setup/config - adjust as needed.

Fetching configuration repository git://github.com/kanavin/bitbake-setup-configurations.git;protocol=https;branch=main;rev=main into /home/alex/.bitbake-setup/configurations
Configuration in /home/alex/builds/poky-ng/ has not changed.
===

If the configuration has changed, you will see the difference:
===

===

Note that it will also rename/preserve the existing build/conf directory, and print changes
in bitbake configuration (diff of content of build/conf/) if that has changed. I can't
at the moment think of anything more clever that is also not much more brittle or complex
to implement, but open to suggestions.

7. To make it easier to review the code, please also review the data it's operating on:
===
alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/bitbake$ ls ~/.bitbake-setup/
cache  configurations  downloads
alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/bitbake$ ls ~/builds/poky-alex/
build  config  config-upstream.json  layers
===

Terminology
===========

- 'top directory' means the place under which bitbake-setup reads and
writes everything. bitbake-setup makes a promise to not touch anything outside of
that, unless otherwise directed to by entries in settings (currently
there is one such setting for fetcher downloads for layers and config
registries). Top directory can be selected by a command line option,
or otherwise assumed to be ~/bitbake-builds/. If BBPATH is in environment
(e.g. we are in a bitbake environment), then the top directory is
deduced from that and doesn't need to be specified by hand.

- 'settings' means bitbake-setup operational parameters that are
global to all builds under a top directory. E.g. the location of
configuration registry, or where the bitbake fetcher should place the
downloads (DL_DIR setting). Settings are stored in a .conf file in ini
format just under the top directory.

- ' build' means a tree structure set up by 'bitbake-setup init',
consisting of, at least, a layers checkout, and a set of bitbake
builds. It maps 1:1 to the json data it was constructed from, which is
called 'configuration'. Configuration files are either standalone
files, or are obtained from git repositories called 'config
registries', in which case they can be listed with 'bitbake-setup
list'. There can be multiple 'builds' under a top directory. Here's an
example configuration that showcases this:
https://github.com/kanavin/bitbake-setup-configurations/blob/main/poky-alex.conf.json

- 'bitbake-setup status' will tell if a configuration is in sync with
the build it was made from. 'bitbake-setup update' will bring a build
in sync with a configuration if needed.

- 'bitbake build' means a particular sub-tree inside a build that
bitbake itself operates on, e.g. what is set in BBPATH/BUILDDIR
by oe-init-build-env. conf/* in that tree is 'bitbake configuration'.
Bitbake configurations are constructed from templates and fragments,
with existing mechanisms provided by oe-core. The configuration file
format is specified such that other mechanisms to set up a
bitbake build can be added; there was a mention of ability to specify
local.conf content and a set of layers directly in a configuration. I
think that scales poorly compared to templates and fragments, but I
made sure alternative ways to configure a bitbake build are possible
to add in the future :)
