We would probably implement this by ensuring that file dependencies exist on an appropriate list of files, so that it's bitbake doing the checking rather than some additional code. 54871 1 markus.lehtonen 2015-10-01 13:15:50 +0000 You're thinking about making educated guesses about the project? That is, detect changes in common autotools files: configure[.ac|.in], Makefile.{ac|in}, autogen.sh etc. How would you detect changes when externalsrc is in effect? Looking at do_configure stamps or something else? 54936 2 bluelightning 2015-10-02 12:48:49 +0000 Well, we can have a pretty good idea of what files to monitor based on what classes the recipe inherits. It won't necessarily be perfect, I agree. We'll have to have a closer look at this in 2.1 and see if it's actually practical (and helpful). 60794 3 markus.lehtonen 2016-04-05 10:05:47 +0000 We could do something similar that we currently have for do_compile. That is, run a python function to get a list of files to put to do_configure[file-checksums], e.g. in externalsrc.bbclass do d.setVarFlag('do_configure', 'file-checksums', '${@get_configure_files(d)}') get_configure_files() would then examine the source tree and recipe data and return a list of files to depend on. 67158 4 bluelightning 2016-10-12 00:58:38 +0000 Fix merged to master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=f7259298a29e865dc03bde77e4617bc671a9c85e 67241 5 henry.bruce 2016-10-13 20:36:46 +0000 Re-opened as I am requesting fix be bapckported to krogoth. Also setting importance to major as I believe this to be release blocker. In the meantime, krogoth workaround is to add the following to recipe (and replicate for all other child CMakeLists.txt files in project do_configure[file-checksums] += "${S}/CMakeLists.txt:True" 67344 6 bluelightning 2016-10-18 22:17:45 +0000 Sent krogoth backport for review (along with some other backports from master). 68207 7 bluelightning 2016-11-09 22:22:47 +0000 Fix now merged to krogoth as well: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=krogoth&id=b169435134fd1a2894ac179f386697874b109a0f
