This could be in the form of the bblock X and bbunlock X commands. The mechanism would use the locked-sigs mechanism which can be seen by: "bitbake bash -S none" then looking at the locked-sigs.inc file it generated. These are activated by including the inc file in local.conf. The lock/unlock commands would use entries of this syntax, probably in a separate file they could maniululate, included from local.conf. When locked sigs are in operation, a note to the user, similar to the way the "-f" taint files trigger notes to the user would be desirable. 84370 1 bluelightning 2019-07-04 10:02:54 +0000 *** Bug 6425 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 84371 2 richard.purdie 2019-07-04 10:05:17 +0000 As a note, tinfoil would have APIs which could implement this (or we'd add them) 85423 3 ross.burton 2019-10-23 15:24:01 +0000 I hacked up this last week. https://github.com/rossburton/bb/blob/master/libexec/bb-lockdown basically uses -S to generate a locked-sigs.inc, removes the lines that we still want to rebuild, then writes an auto.conf to pull the file in. 95315 4 duy.dang.yw 2023-04-07 07:38:33 +0000 Hi Richard, I can handle this Bug. But in what case do people need to lock a specific recipe? 95323 5 duy.dang.yw 2023-04-10 02:36:08 +0000 Hi Richard, Ross, Do we create a new parameter for bitbake to do this feature? Or just a script same as Ross' one in poky/scripts ? 95338 6 richard.purdie 2023-04-12 10:34:06 +0000 If for example someone wants to make changes to the rust recipe but doesn't want rust-native to rebuild every time, they only want to rebuild rust itself. In this case they would lock rust-native. I think this should be a separate tool and not an option to bitbake. We can use the tinfoil bitbake API if needed though. 95925 7 jstephan 2023-07-17 13:11:31 +0000 Hi Duy, Richard and Ross, I would be happy to help on this. Duy did you make any progress on this? 95926 8 ross.burton 2023-07-17 13:40:30 +0000 I'm unaware of any progress beyond my scripts being a demonstration that the concept works. 95927 9 jstephan 2023-07-17 13:48:17 +0000 Ok, so I'll take a look at this 95930 10 duy.dang.yw 2023-07-18 03:17:35 +0000 Hi Julien, I'm busy recently and cannot handle it. So that's OK if you can take this bug 96109 11 randy.macleod 2023-07-26 21:29:36 +0000 Bulk move to 4.3 M3. 97268 12 ross.burton 2023-11-16 15:56:26 +0000 Merged in 2d9ab0cfd7f3cacc347954676f1323342a6b286f.
