Adds an option to skip _setscene only if they would normally be executed, without ignoring sstate completely. Previously, '--no-setscene' would allow a build that completely ignored sstate and _setscene tasks, and '--setscene-only' would allow a build that only ran _setscene tasks, but there was no option do a build that would respect tasks previously restored from sstate and build everything else. Now one can run: bitbake --setscene-only IMAGE; bitbake --skip-setscene IMAGE which is functionally equivalent to: bitbake IMAGE The indented use is to allow a build to complete successfully in the presence of _setscene task failures by splitting apart the two phases e.g.: (bitbake -k --setscene-only IMAGE || true) && bitbake --skip-setscene IMAGE (Bitbake rev: 813ba5b7c13b573a0b813b628a819bdbf0627540) Signed-off-by: Joshua Watt <JPEWhacker@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
