This can explain why building a sato image with rm_work enabled in hob still needs 30GB disk space! I think it's caused by: INHERIT is not respected in hob. I can reproduce this bug every time when I run hob. e.g., when I use hob to build the package acl, we can see: in its WORKDIR, everything is kept there, unremoved. ---- I believe in the normal case,(non-build-appliance case), we have the issue, too. In this case, I'll try to give more detailed instructions about how to reproduce the issue later. 20228 1 dexuan.cui 2012-04-12 09:53:48 +0000 Below is the way to reproduce the bug on my Ubuntu host: 1) add INHERIT += "rm_work" into conf/local.conf 2) bitbake acl -c cleansstate; bitbake acl; ls tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/acl-2.2.51-r3/ we see in there are only the following: acl-2.2.51 package packages-split pseudo temp 3) bitbake acl -c cleansstate; 4) in hob, choose "Create your own image" , "View recipes" -- choose acl and build the package. 5) now run "ls tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/acl-2.2.51-r3/" and we see acl-2.2.51 debugsources.list deploy-ipks image license-destdir package packages-split pkgdata pseudo relative-libdir.patch shlibs sysroot-destdir temp This shows rm_work doesn't work at all in the case of hob. 20253 2 lianhao.lu 2012-04-12 16:58:21 +0000 Dongxiao confirms that INHERIT is respected by hob as long as it is set in the "bitbake.conf configuration file chains". The reason for this bug is that task do_rm_work is added after do_build. But hob only runs do_build task when building packages, so do_rm_work never gets the chance to be executed. Hob needs to run the task defined in BB_DEFAULT_TASK to build the packages. 20300 3 shane.wang 2012-04-13 10:18:31 +0000 Correct its category! 20301 4 shane.wang 2012-04-13 10:27:30 +0000 Ready at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=dxu4/hob-bugfix-temp&id=16c6add2870b9165fe2d25641479cffb8994b2af 20329 5 dexuan.cui 2012-04-13 17:25:37 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Ready at: > http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=dxu4/hob-bugfix-temp&id=16c6add2870b9165fe2d25641479cffb8994b2af We'll need to fix the MAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE variable(20G is probably enough, but we need to TEST) in meta/recipes-core/images/self-hosted-image.bb once this bug is fixed. 20375 6 dongxiao.xu 2012-04-14 13:54:50 +0000 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=276b86509ba29046828d283f15ae44ae0850d1d0 20630 7 dexuan.cui 2012-04-18 09:23:12 +0000 (In reply to comment #6) > http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=276b86509ba29046828d283f15ae44ae0850d1d0 By testing building in the guest with the patch applied, I can verify the bug was fixed.
