  Description     : build system used for embedded Linux distributions

 BitBake is a simple tool for the execution of tasks. It is derived
 from Portage, which is the package management system used by the Gentoo
 Linux distribution.
 
 It is most commonly used to build packages, as it can easily use
 its rudimentary inheritence to abstract common operations, such as
 fetching sources, unpacking them, patching them, compiling them, and
 so on. It is the basis of the OpenEmbedded project, which is being
 used for OpenZaurus, Familiar and a number of other Linux distributions.
