Embedded Linux Development Using Yocto Project Cookbook - Second Edition

Looking at build history

Inspecting the Git directory with build history can be done in several ways:

• Using Git tools such as gitk or git log
• Using the buildhistory-diff command-line tool, which displays the differences in a human-readable format
• Using a Django-1.8-based web interface

To install the Django web interface on a development machine, you first need to install some host dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-django $ sudo apt-get install python-django-registration

This will install Django 1.8 both for Python 2.7, and Python 3. The buildhistory-web interface will only currently work on Python 2.7 but the build history import script will need to run under Python 3 as that is what the Yocto 2.4 BitBake uses.
