Re: [bitbake-devel] [PATCH 2/2] pyproject.toml: add scripts

Hi Chris,

I tried out using "uv run bitbake" and get the following message:

ERROR: The BBPATH variable is not set and bitbake did not find a
conf/bblayers.conf file in the expected location.
Maybe you accidentally invoked bitbake from the wrong directory?


I think some of the challenges with packaging bitbake is that the version
is tied to a specific Yocto Project, the sys.path is modified at runtime to
find the lib directory, and that it needs to run in the oe-init-build-env
environment.  This could make it difficult to work in this workflow.

Out of curiosity, were you able to do bitbake builds with this setup?

Regards,
Rob
