build-compare: drop PATCHTOOL setting

2015-10-19T16:46:29+00:00

We don't need PATCHTOOL to be set to git in this recipe, and setting it
that way requires that the running user has git user & email configured,
which on a build server it might well not be.

build-compare: add support for examining deb and ipk packages

2015-09-12T21:47:23+00:00

This is just rudimentary support at the moment as we'd potentially want
to compare the control files a bit more specifically than this does, but
it's a start.

build-compare: update Rename-rpm-check.sh-to-pkg-diff.sh.patch

2015-02-21T22:04:26+00:00

The patch can't be applied by "git am -3" with newer version of git
(such as 2.0.1), and can't be applied by "git am/apply" with any
version, now fix it

build-compare: Add the build-compare_git.bb recipe.

2015-02-14T22:26:11+00:00

The description for build-compare describes it as "This package contains
scripts to find out if the build result differs to a former build." More
specifically this contains a script that will display differences between
"packages." It works with rpms, tarballs and other various types of
packages.

The idea is that it will eventually be used in Yocto to check for differences
between sstate so that we can check for build reproducibility. It will
also be used once an updateable sdk is in place, so that packages that
have different hashes but are not different in contents, don't get updated.
It could also be used in the same manner when updating packages from a
package feed.
