@@ -32,6 +32,22 @@ Looks like we may be able to use removeHandler.. will have to see how it interacts with parent/child loggers. +Long term, high impact: + + - Change override application to actually *move* it over -- so the original + override specific version of the variable goes away, rather than sticking + around as a duplicate. + - Change the behavior when a variable is referenced and is unset. Today, it + evaluates to ${FOO} and then shell has a chance to expand it, but this is + far from ideal. We had considered evaluating it to the empty string, but + that has other potential problems. Frans Meulenbroeks has proposed just + erroring when this occurs, as we can always define default values for the + variables in bitbake.conf. This seems reasonable. My only concern with + that is the case where you want to reference a shell variable with odd + characters in it -- where you'd have to use ${} style shell variable + expansion rather than normal $. To handle that case, we'd really need a + way to escape / disable bitbake variable expansion, \${} perhaps. + Uncertain: - Leverage the python 2.6 multiprocessing module |
