Is using WORKDIR to resolve to file paths a valid usage? If not, should we warn users and request them to change it when using such a recipe with devtool? Is there any other way to replace references to WORKDIR? 81943 1 bluelightning 2018-10-23 22:43:43 +0000 Anuj - apologies for the delay in reviewing this. Do you have an example of a recipe where this resulted in a failure? I just tested a couple that I found with ${WORKDIR} in do_install (nss and keymaps in OE-Core) and they worked fine, so I think there are additional factors at work here - perhaps S = "${WORKDIR}" or otherwise using ${WORKDIR}/something to refer to a file within ${S} or ${B}? 81944 2 anuj.mittal 2018-10-24 01:02:57 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Anuj - apologies for the delay in reviewing this.

Yes, I just checked and this recipe is using ${WORKDIR}/something to refer to a file in source tree. 94003 3 denis 2022-09-08 20:48:12 +0000 FWIW, this is still a valid bug: https://patchwork.yoctoproject.org/project/ti/patch/20220908202054.3800302-1-denis@denix.org/ Should devtool at least warn about such usage? Also, should this be re-assigned to Saul (new devtool owner) now? 96838 4 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:27 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 104038 5 randy.macleod 2026-01-22 16:31:15 +0000 Needs retesting after the UNPACKDIR changes.
