Description Paul Eggleton 2017-05-04 10:18:03 UTC 
Not that long ago we added a prefix to logged messages to allow us to see where the message has been generated (recipe / task). This is undoubtedly useful for errors and warnings, however, I'm not sure it's really appropriate for bb.plain(). As an example, see the output for -c listtasks now:

...
NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
nodejs-native-4.5.0-r0 do_listtasks: do_addto_recipe_sysroot       
nodejs-native-4.5.0-r0 do_listtasks: do_build                      Default task for a recipe - depends on all other normal tasks required to 'build' a recipe
nodejs-native-4.5.0-r0 do_listtasks: do_checklicense               
nodejs-native-4.5.0-r0 do_listtasks: do_checklicenseall            
nodejs-native-4.5.0-r0 do_listtasks: do_checkpkg                   
...

This is really ugly. Can we exclude bb.plain from having these prefixes added?
