7.29. distrodata.bbclass

The distrodata class provides for automatic checking for upstream recipe updates. The class creates a comma-separated value (CSV) spreadsheet that contains information about the recipes. The information provides the do_distrodata and do_distro_check tasks, which do upstream checking and also verify if a package is used in multiple major distributions.

The class is not included by default. To use it, you must include the following files and set the INHERIT variable:

     include conf/distro/include/distro_alias.inc
     include conf/distro/include/recipe_color.inc
     include conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc
     include conf/distro/include/upstream_tracking.inc
     include conf/distro/include/package_regex.inc
     INHERIT+= "distrodata"
