Description Paul Eggleton 2015-04-09 14:06:27 UTC

The extensible SDK installation process (defined in populate_sdk_ext.bbclass) by default runs bitbake in order to install the sstate cache to the point where you can assemble an image, however at the moment it actually runs do_rootfs which is completely unnecessary. Probably the easiest way to fix this would be to stub out do_rootfs making it a no-op (e.g. by inheriting a class that does this just for this run).

Changing state to Accepted as I can't see the patch.  Chen, if you did send this, can you ping it?

I sent one. But it's not correct and I'll rework on this bug.
Thank you for reminding me about this.

Hello,

Tested with latest commit: 505a82673ac2487df5ea343a6422c2fc47018831 on an Ubuntu machine.
Steps performed:
1) ensure having a clean environment (i removed tmp dir)
2) prepare SDK:
bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk
3) search for any do_rootfs in cooker log:
~/2poky/build/tmp/log/cooker/genericx86$ ls
20151022083315.log
~/2poky/build/tmp/log/cooker/genericx86$ grep rootfs 20151022083315.log

Marking as verified.
