Buildhistory can now collect information on SDK contents, so add this to
the appropriate section.

+ <title>Build History SDK Information</title>
+ <para>
+ Build history collects similar information on the contents
+ of SDKs (for example, <filename>meta-toolchain</filename>
+ or <filename>bitbake -c populate_sdk imagename</filename>)
+ to that which it collects for images.
+ The files produced for each SDK are as follows:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><filename>files-in-sdk.txt:</filename>
+ A list of files in the SDK with permissions,
+ owner, group, size, and symlink information.
+ This includes both the host and target parts
+ of the SDK.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>sdk-info.txt:</filename>
+ A text file containing name-value pairs with
information
+ about the SDK.
+ See the following listing example for more information.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Under each of the
<filename>host</filename> and
+ <filename>target</filename> directories (for the
portions of the
+ SDK that run on the host and on the target
respectively):
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><filename>depends.dot:</filename>
+ Dependency graph for the SDK that is
+ compatible with <filename>graphviz</filename>.
+ </para></listitem>
+
<listitem><para><filename>installed-package-names.txt:</filename>
+ A list of installed packages by name
only.</para></listitem>
+
<listitem><para><filename>installed-package-sizes.txt:</filename>
+ A list of installed packages ordered by size.
+ </para></listitem>
+
<listitem><para><filename>installed-packages.txt:</filename>
+ A list of installed packages with full package
+ filenames.</para></listitem>

+ Here is an example of <filename>sdk-info.txt</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+DISTRO = poky
+DISTRO_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot-20130327
+SDK_NAME = poky-eglibc-i686-arm
+SDK_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot
+SDKMACHINE =
+SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs
+BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS =
+SDKSIZE = 352712
+ </literallayout>
+ Other than <filename>SDKSIZE</filename>, which is the
+ total size of the files in the SDK in Kbytes, the
+ name-value pairs are variables that may have influenced the
+ content of the SDK.
+ This information is often useful when you are trying to
determine
+ why a change in the package or file listings has occurred.
