https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/classes-recipe/image_types_wic.bbclass?h=master#n12 lists BBLAYERS, that does contain a host specific paths to end up as a direct dependency of do_rootfs_wicenv (https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/classes-recipe/image_types_wic.bbclass?h=master#n209). at least TOPDIR needs to be taken out of the task signature calculation
Does WIC actually use bblayers or can we just remove it?
Likely used for plugin discovery - so I think it's needed
Rather than adding TOPDIR we should probably be recording which plugin this resolves to so that the hash only changes when the plugin being used changes. Is that something you could help us with a patch for?
@Richard I would, but recent policy changes at Microsoft make it impossible to contribute to the project. So I'm afraid I can't provide patches
I'm guessing that by "policy changes at Microsoft" you mean that you can't send patches via outlook.com. I'm surprised by that, mainly because all of my patches route through Exchange, so I'm curious what the problem is. However, there is an alternative: the "b4" tool can send messages to the mailing list over HTTP. The documentation for the send command is at https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/send.html (you can use the kernel endpoint, as the lists are hosted at the same place). A worked example of contributing a kernel patch is at https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/sending-a-kernel-patch-with-b4-part-1. Hopefully that is useful to you.
Bulk move to 5.2-M3.
Bulk move to 5.2-M3 and this time I'll actually specify M3!
Bulk move of most 5.2-M4 unassigned bugs to 5.3-M2.
Leaving at M2 for discussion since there are wic changes that I'm aware of but not following closely. Trevor, Hongxu, Keith, Is this still a problem?
The wic work may land before 6.0 GA so bump to M4.
I've submitted a patch that I think solves this https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_1_2_image_types_wic/119078158 Thanks, Sam
Bulk move of unassigned 6.0-M* bugs to 6.1-M2.
