Description Richard Purdie 2020-05-21 04:39:12 UTC 
Currently the autobuilder saves failed build directories. This doesn't work for oe-selftest since it deletes all build directories when it completes. Add a mode to selftest where it would leave the directories for failed builds behind to allow for later debugging of otherwise hard to understand failures.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2020-05-21 08:38:48 UTC 
Build directory deletion is this code:

(see removebuilddir)
