section, which is in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
:term:`SRCTREECOVEREDTASKS`
A list of tasks that are typically not relevant (and therefore skipped)
when building using the :ref:`externalsrc <ref-classes-externalsrc>`
class. The default value as set in that class file is the set of tasks
that are rarely needed when using external source::
SRCTREECOVEREDTASKS ?= "do_patch do_unpack do_fetch"
The notable exception is when processing external kernel source as
defined in the :ref:`kernel-yocto <ref-classes-kernel-yocto>`
class file (formatted for aesthetics)::
SRCTREECOVEREDTASKS += "\
do_validate_branches \
do_kernel_configcheck \
do_kernel_checkout \
do_fetch \
do_unpack \
do_patch \
"
See the associated :term:`EXTERNALSRC` and :term:`EXTERNALSRC_BUILD`
variables for more information.
:term:`SSTATE_DIR`
The directory for the shared state cache.
