Description Paul Eggleton 2014-08-24 18:55:00 UTC

Extend the tool in bug 6659 to add the ability to compare the output sstate packages to see if they have materially changed. Those that have not can be preserved in the manifest in order to reduce the amount an existing user needs to download in order to upgrade. (Note: if the manifest is also embedded within the SDK that will also need to be updated).

oe-publish-sdk: add script

Add a script to publish an extensible SDK that has previously been built
to a specified destination. This published SDK is intended to be
accessed by the devtool sdk-update command from an installed copy of the
extensible SDK.

e.g.
oe-publish-sdk <ext-sdk> <destination>

Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2015-09-15 08:47:26 UTC

Does oe-publish-sdk actually do comparisons of the packages in order to determine if they should be published or not?

Comment 3 Chen Qi 2015-09-15 09:25:18 UTC

Sorry, I misunderstood it. Reopen this bug.

Comment 4 Chen Qi 2016-11-15 06:43:27 UTC

I'll look at the latest situation of devtool and see how to fit into that.

Comment 5 Stephano Cetola 2018-03-22 08:17:43 UTC

Please look into whether or not this feature is still relevant.

Comment 6 Paul Eggleton 2019-06-20 11:29:54 UTC

So I believe as of recently this is now handled in a different way through the sstate hash equivalency functionality, so marking as resolved.
