7.33. 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 set the INHERIT variable:

     INHERIT+= "distrodata"
