Rewrite the build performance test script (scripts/contrib/build-perf-test.sh) in Python. This would make it much more maintainable and easier to extend, and, make it possible to have shared functionality with other oeqa utilities.
Also, it should allow integrating to an automated tool that uses this script for obtaining performance measurements.

I saw that in patch [1] a new file named "build-perf-test-wrapper.sh" was created and the main purpose of the bug was to migrate the script to Python. Markus Lehtonen are you able to explain why the main purpose changed and another .sh file was created? 1.- http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=678a02e112bead7a5ef73c7e74ac2599a544de1f
Currently there is failure executing wrapper bug 10019 opened to track this.
Our automated tester machines have a shell script that is used to run build perf tests. This shell script isn't/wasn't maintained in any VCS. The new shell script (i.e. build-perf-test-wrapper.sh) was added as a substitute for this script: as a wrapper for running build perf tests with a single shell command. A shell script like this is needed because the actual tester script (i.e. scripts/oe-build-perf-test) needs to be run in an initialized build environment. The shell script takes care of checking out the correct git revision and running oe-init-build-env, for example.
Wrapper works correctly
