Talk:BitBake

Humor?
It is "more complicated than make"? If that is a joke, it is a good one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volker Siegel (talk • contribs) 16:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Original author changed
Hi, I changed the original author to myself. I hope this is not too shady. I'm opening this talk so anyone thinking that I'm not correct in doing so can give input.

Back in 2002-2003 we were a group interested in PDA like devices with Intel StrongARM and Intel/Marvell PXA320 devices. Among us Chris "kergoth" Larsen, Michael "mickeyl" Lauer, Holger "zecke" Freyther and I, Holger Schurig, but also many others. We hacked on various StrongARM and PXA320 devices, most notable Sharp Zaurus. There was an OpenZaurus project, but I didn't like the build concept of it. So I made a new design, in Python, based a bit on how Gentoo worked. I coded the original of it and demoed it. It was later adopted not into OpenZaurus, but we made a new project OpenEmbedded.

Keep in mind that this was before GIT was a thing, I'm not even sure if I used Bitkeeper from the beginning. I also was never responsible for any infrastructure, e.g. server that hosts the repository and HTML pages. Still you can see this even in today's GIT tree, e.g. if you look at this commit you can see that the line that only lists me as copyright holder. The commit amendeds with Chris Larsen's name. But that my name was originally there gives proof that I was the *original* author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.207.255.15 (talk) 08:29, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
