Accepted: Needs to be categorized under "Development Manual" when that category is set up. Pushing out past 1.5. I need to be sure this information gets into the re-written BitBake manual. Hi, I have updated the following sections to provide a bit more information on these clean tasks. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-clean http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-cleanall http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-cleansstate In addition to this, I made sure the manual set references these sections appropriately when discussing use of these tasks from the BB command line. I am marking as IN PROGRESS REVIEW. Please look this over and let me know if it is good. Thanks, Scott Need to add do_populate_sysroot and do_deploy to the list of clean tasks although its still not a complete list (nor is it possible to give one). Add a caveat to do_cleansstate that highlights that it cannot remove sstate from a remote sstate mirror. If a try from scratch build is required with remote sstate mirrors, the -f option should be used. Maybe also highlight that do_cleanall removes files from DL_DIR? Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Please review these tasks: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-populate_sysroot http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#deploy http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#cleansstate http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#cleanall Let me know of further changes. Thanks, Scott Hi, I still need a review of these sections. thanks, Scott No feedback on this in five weeks. I am marking it RESOLVED and setting the Doc flag to "Done." Scott |
