BBHandler.py: Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958)

[vuplus_bitbake] / ChangeLog

Changes in BitBake 1.8.x:
        - Fix -f (force) in conjunction with -b
        - Fix exit code for build failures in --continue mode
        - Fix git branch tags fetching
        - Change parseConfigurationFile so it works on real data, not a copy
        - Handle 'base' inherit and all other INHERITs from parseConfigurationFile 
          instead of BBHandler
        - Fix getVarFlags bug in data_smart
        - Optmise cache handling by more quickly detecting an invalid cache, only 
          saving the cache when its changed, moving the cache validity check into
          the parsing loop and factoring some getVar calls outside a for loop
        - Cooker: Remove a debug message from the parsing loop to lower overhead
        - Convert build.py exec_task to use getVarFlags
        - Update shell to use cooker.buildFile
        - Add StampUpdate event
        - Convert -b option to use taskdata/runqueue
        - Remove digraph and switch to new stamp checking code. exec_task no longer
          honours dependencies
        - Make fetcher timestamp updating non-fatal when permissions don't allow 
          updates
        - Add BB_SCHEDULER variable/option ("completion" or "speed") controlling
          the way bitbake schedules tasks
        - Add BB_STAMP_POLICY variable/option ("perfile" or "full") controlling
          how extensively stamps are looked at for validity
        - When handling build target failures make sure idepends are checked and
          failed where needed. Fixes --continue mode crashes.
        - Fix problems with recrdeptask handling where some idepends weren't handled
          correctly.
        - Work around refs/HEAD issues with git over http (#3410)
        - Add proxy support to the CVS fetcher (from Cyril Chemparathy)
        - Improve runfetchcmd so errors are seen and various GIT variables are exported
        - Add ability to fetchers to check URL validity without downloading
        - Improve runtime PREFERRED_PROVIDERS warning message
        - Add BB_STAMP_WHITELIST option which contains a list of stamps to ignore when
          checking stamp dependencies and using a BB_STAMP_POLICY of "whitelist"
        - No longer weight providers on the basis of a package being "already staged". This
          leads to builds being non-deterministic.
        - Flush stdout/stderr before forking to fix duplicate console output
        - Make sure recrdeps tasks include all inter-task dependencies of a given fn
        - Add bb.runqueue.check_stamp_fn() for use by packaged-staging
        - Add PERSISTENT_DIR to store the PersistData in a persistent
          directory != the cache dir.
        - Add md5 and sha256 checksum generation functions to utils.py
        - Make sure Build Completed events are generated even when tasks fail
        - Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958)

          fetching (we don't care about the index). Fixes fetch errors.

          faster at the expense of not creating mirror tarballs.

        - Add bb.utils.lockfile() and bb.utils.unlockfile() from Poky
        - Add support for task selfstamp and lockfiles flags
        - Disable task number acceleration since it can allow the tasks to run 
          out of sequence
        - Improve runqueue code comments
        - Add task scheduler abstraction and some example schedulers

        - Stop generating the A variable (seems to be legacy code)
        - Make sure intertask depends get processed correcting in recursive depends
        - Add pn-PN to overrides when evaluating PREFERRED_VERSION

        - Sort the list of providers before processing so dependency problems are 
          reproducible rather than effectively random
        - Add locking for fetchers so only one tries to fetch a given file at a given time
        - Fix int(0)/None confusion in runqueue.py which causes random gaps in dependency chains
        - Fix handling of variables with expansion in the name using _append/_prepend

        - Expand data in addtasks
        - Print the list of missing DEPENDS,RDEPENDS for the "No buildable providers available for required...."

          development of new Fetchers.
          Issue #438 fixed by rpurdie@openedhand.com

        - Sort variables, keys and groups in bitdoc
        - Fix regression in the handling of BBCOLLECTIONS
        - Update the bitbake usermanual

Changes in BitBake 1.3.0:
        - add bitbake interactive shell (bitbake -i)
        - refactor bitbake utility in OO style
        - kill default arguments in methods in the bb.data module
        - kill default arguments in methods in the bb.fetch module
        - the http/https/ftp fetcher will fail if the to be

          persisting mode (called data_smart.py)
        - Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry
          additional parameters
        - Drastically reduced the amount of needed RAM by not holding

          storage

Changes in BitBake 1.2.1:
        The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the
        ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are:

        - Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to
          get a instance of a data class
        - bb.data.init() is a factory and the old bb.data methods are delegates
        - Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead.
        - Removed default arguments in bb.fetch
