Automatic upstream version check can be triggered by "bitbake xxx -c checkpkg". The rationale behind is to find a automatic way for version comparison between current in-use one and upstream progress. The tricky thing is how to find out useful version string from mass diverse information. Fortunately now it mostly work for wget based protocol, except some sites (e.g. sourceforge) not providing a directory service. Repo (git/svn/cvs) based protocols are handled in a very simple manner, by always tagging as update required. This will be further improved later. Use 'world' target to retrieve a full version check for all active recipes. Along with version check, other package information is also collected from existing fields in .bb file Signed-off-by Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com>
