At the moment bitbake --help does not list this syntax, so we should ensure that it does (and update the bitbake manual as needed). 52211 1 bluelightning 2015-07-08 13:32:09 +0000 Thanks to Ross there is at least a mention of the syntax now in the --help output in master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=18d71ed16ed3fd0ef0036280612503e33f840587 53480 2 bluelightning 2015-08-27 14:56:41 +0000 Moving to 2.1 - really the remaining bit is to update the bitbake manual. 61704 3 bluelightning 2016-04-27 02:17:27 +0000 So we need to work this into the BitBake manual - the --help text quoted by the manual does include it but we ought to explicitly mention it. Probably we ought to have a small section after "Executing Tasks Against a Set of Recipe Files", perhaps "Executing a List of Task/Recipe Combinations" or something similar (a better title would be welcome). 62665 4 srifenbark 2016-06-06 16:55:52 +0000 Hi, See the new section at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#executing-a-list-of-task-and-recipe-combinations and please give me feedback. The example I used is contrived. If there is a better, more realistic way to do this let me know. Thanks, Scott 63360 5 srifenbark 2016-06-27 18:11:56 +0000 Still needs reviewed. Setting target to M4. 64442 6 richard.purdie 2016-07-25 21:39:58 +0000 $ bitbake myfirstrecipe recipe:do_taskA mysecondrecipe recipe:do_taskB needs to be: $ bitbake myfirstrecipe:do_taskA mysecondrecipe:do_taskB 64683 7 srifenbark 2016-07-29 21:22:46 +0000 Thank Richard for the look... See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#executing-a-list-of-task-and-recipe-combinations for the change. I am going to close this bug now. Scott
