![]() The get_hash() function is used to decide if the base configuration has changed and hence whether a reparse is required. The vardepvalue flag's value was not expanded but it is often used in contexts like: METADATA_REVISION = "${@base_detect_revision(d)}" METADATA_REVISION[vardepvalue] = "${METADATA_REVISION}" which in it's unexpanded form means reparsing doesn't happen when it should as the data appears unchanged. Update get_hash to expand the values of vardepvalue so reparsing works as expected. This avoids basehash mismatch errors such as the one recently caused by using METADATA_REVISION in poky.conf's DISTRO_VERSION variable. The issue there could be exposed by a recipe using DISTRO_VERSION with the sequence: bitbake os-release <change the revision of the metadata with a dummy commit> bitbake os-release -C install which was caused because METADATA_REVISION changed but the metadata didn't reparse.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
