    <thetext>From help info of &quot;bitbake -S&quot;: --dump-signatures=SIGNATURE_HANDLER
                                    [snip] Two common values are none and printdiff but the handler may define more/less[snip]

And the problems are:

1) After checked the code, it seems that we only can add SIGNATURE_HANDLER inside of bitabke, which means that we can&apos;t add handler from bbclass or files like meta/lib/oe/sig_handler.py, do we need make it be able to do so ?

2) The name of SIGNATURE_HANDLER might be confused with BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER, so we may need change another name in the help text.

3) We may need fix &quot;printdiff&quot; handler and make it to replace of bitbake-whatchanged, currently, printdiff is very slow when run something like &quot;bitbake -sprintdiff core-image-minimal&quot;, And probably other fixes.</thetext>

    <thetext>We need specific work items rather than this general idea.
