2018-01-17bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Fixed porno hack for hello world exampleScott Rifenbark
Someone hacked the http://hambedded site or it was moved and some links to that site in the BB manual had been hijacked to point to an entry portal for a pornography site. Replaced the link with an archived version that restores the integrity of the links.

2015-08-01bitbake: bitbake-user-manual-fetching.xml: note about URLs with semi-colonsJuro Bystricky
Some URLs contain semi-colons. Unfortunatelly, bitbake uses semi-colons in SRC_URI as delimiters for various parameters. It may still be possible to use such URLs, providing the user replaces semi-colons ';' with '&' characters. For example: http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47 and http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git&a=snapshot&h=a5dd47 should be equivalent, as W3C recommends treating ';' in queries identically to '&'.

2015-06-23bitbake: bitbake: Add explict getVar param for (non) expansionRichard Purdie
Rather than just use d.getVar(X), use the more explict d.getVar(X, False) since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would be nice. This is the first step towards that. This patch was mostly made using the command: sed -e 's:\(getVar([^,()]*\)\s*):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *` (Bitbake rev: 659ef95c9b8aced3c4ded81c48bcc0fbde4d429f) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
