This project provides tools that perform custom tasks or full build on a given recipe's dependencies which are recipes also.

The idea is the following:

1. Generate a recipe's dependencies list
2. Remove the recipe itself from the list to avoid bitbakeing it
3. Loop through the list and run the full or given task on the recipe

This project provide two scripts that do the same thing:

• bitbake-deps.sh: Can be ran from anywhere.
• bitbake-deps: Must be copied to poky/bitbake/bin to be able to use bitbake library

• Usage:

./bitbake-deps.sh target [task]

The shell script provide a DEBUG level that you can activate by setting the variable ENABLE_DEBUG to 1:

ENABLE_DEBUG=1 ./bitbake-deps.sh core-image-minimal

When enabling DEBUG, bitbake output will be shown along side the [DEBUG] log message.

You need to copy the bitbake-deps script to poky/bitbake/bin and resource the oe-ini-build-env script again. Then you can use it like follows:

• Usage:

bitbake-deps --help
usage: bitbake-deps [-h] -r RECIPE [-t TASK]

Run Tasks on Dependencies

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r RECIPE, --recipe RECIPE
                        Recipe name
  -t TASK, --task TASK  Custom task to run on deps

• Fetch all dependencies of core-image-minimal

bitbake-deps -r core-image-minimal -t do_fetch

• Fetch all dependencies of an image:

./bitbake-deps.sh core-image-minimal do_fetch

• Build all dependencies of a given package:

./bitbake-deps.sh virtual/kernel

• Complete the Python bitbake-dep script
