Description Frans Meulenbroeks 2022-08-11 06:53:28 UTC 
As a user I would like to see a config flag that; when set; after a build will as the last task do a bake of package-index.

Currently if I do 
bitbake some-recipe package-index
in one command it does seem to work properly (package-index is not run after some-recipe is build).
It is possible to do
bitbake some-recipe && bitbake package-index
but it would be convenient if there as a variable that  could be set making sure that package-index is always run.

(and feel free to move this ticket if it is submitted to the wrong project)

A shell alias/script would also work.
