well yea, except that does not help code-reuse to fix the wrong splitport patterns used elsewhere in bitbake, unfortunately..

bitbake-layers: add a ability to query layer dependencies from layer index
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. This is definitely improving, some feedback though:
* I think the new subcommand would make more sense if it were switched around so that it was fetching by default (and renamed as appropriate). Perhaps "layerindex-fetch" (with -n to avoid fetching and just report what it would fetch).
* I think the layer index URL specified in the OE variable should be to the root rather than to /api - instead have that suffix added by the code that does the API calls. This makes it usable as a URL for the index for presenting to the user if needed.
* Can you rename the two variables to BBLAYERS_LAYERINDEX_URL and BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR (sorry I didn't think of this earlier).
* Please mention bitbake-layers in the comment above the settings in bitbake.conf so it's clear where these variables are used.
* By using -q with git you lose the status output which can be very useful given how long it can take to fetch some layers e.g. meta-oe, so can you drop this?
* Can you add a check to see if the layer has already been fetched before fetching it and skip the fetch if it does (but not skip the add)?
* If I run "bitbake-layers show-layer-deps meta-security" I get an error:
ERROR: Can NOT get meta-security git repo and subdir
(The code currently expects there to be a subdir, but this is an optional field, not all layers have a subdirectory, meta-security is one example.)
* I think you may be able to get away with skipping the initial parse by passing config_only=True to init_bbhandler(). If you can, this will save a bit of time each time you run the command.
Thanks,
Paul

I just noticed another issue - dependencies-of-dependencies aren't handled here either; e.g. meta-security's dependencies have just been updated so that it now depends on meta-networking, and meta-networking depends on meta-python but that's not listed when I run bitbake-layers show-layer-deps meta-security. I think maybe this is a deficiency in the layer index API - it would be faster if there was one call we could make to get the entire list of dependencies, URLs and subdirectories for the entire dependency chain.
I know this is probably further than you expected to go with this bug, but is that API enhancement something you could look into adding?

I'm not sure I understand the question - but FWIW the variables I'm talking about renaming are currently named BITBAKE_LAYERINDEX_URL and LAYER_FETCH_DIR. The reason I suggest naming them BBLAYERS_LAYERINDEX_URL and BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR respectively is it is more closely related to the area where the values are actually used. Is that what you were asking about?

I know this is probably further than you expected to go with this bug, but is that API enhancement something you could look into adding?
Yet another concern - we need to deal with layer branches properly, i.e. we can't just assume master or otherwise people using stable branches will have compatibility issues. In many cases we won't be able to rely upon the OE- Core/poky branch being the matching name either, so it might have to be something we require the user to specify on the command line.

Paul
