Berlios suggests bitbake was born on Dec 7, 2004. So in a few weeks we
will celebrate the 9'th birthday of the OpenEmbedded build system.
I found a presentation that seems to have a bit more history in it.
OpenEmbedded & BitBake - Denx.
www.denx.de/wiki/pub/ELDKHistory/.../OpenEmbeddedv1.ppt
December 2004: OpenEmbedded is split up into the BitBake build system and the
OpenEmbedded metadata. OpenZaurus. OpenEmbedded is the successor to ..

2001: Sharp introducestheSL-5000 PDA running Linux
2002: Chris Larson finds out that the SharpROM sucks and starts hacking on a
build system for a customized Linux distribution called "OpenZaurus”
2002-2003: The OpenZaurus build system is getting stretched (beyond belief) by
adding support for many more packages and target devices
January 2003: Brainstorming towards a new distribution and device independent
build system
February 2003: Holger Schurig creates the OpenEmbedded repository and starts
hacking on the first version
May 2003: Chris Larson adds major functionality to the OpenEmbedded core and
starts converting packages from the OpenZaurus build system
December 2003: Michael Lauer releases OpenZaurus3.3.5, abandons the OpenZaurus
build system, and converts100s of packages to OpenEmbedded
December 2004: OpenEmbedded is split up into the BitBake build system and the
OpenEmbedded metadata
So the magic Dec 7 2004 date is the split of OpenEmbedded into bitbake and the
'metadata'. the actual work was almost 20 months prior.
The sourceforge openembedded project was registerd 2003-01-21:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openembedded/
Also I found a repository that appears it may contain the original
OpenEmbedded.. first commit is:
Author: Chris Larson <clar...@kergoth.com>
Date: Mon Jun 2 21:19:02 2003 +0000
Initial repository create
BKrev: 3edbbf46Zm7UJzG9iGisj7ELSsUuZQ
Never thought to look at the Bitbake repository.. first commit:
commit af645b03b585a9c92dc111188756b8f6badfec5f
Author: Chris Larson <clar...@kergoth.com>
Date: Fri Feb 21 04:03:45 2003 +0000
.oe file parser function
So I think that Jives with the Approx Feb 2003 timeframe.. and I'd say the code
birthday then would be Feb 21 2003 -- so in 3 months we're looking at the 12th
anniversary of Bitbake/OE.
--Mark
I know we've all forgotten the exact date :), but this is the best I
could find.
