There would be an "Argument list too long" error when the TMPDIR is in a deep dir, for example, when "len(readlink -f TMPDIR) >= 410" We should ensure build successfully when the length of TMPDIR < 410.
We need make sure the world build is OK when TMPDIR < 410 before release.
Can you please be more clear with where this is failing?
Still waiting for feedback
If the path to your build directory is >= 410 characters the build may fail due to command line limitations. While it's unusual for most to get to that length, it is possible in some deep directory structure situations.
Chong emailed me to say: --- I have sent a patch to fix similar issue. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6138 patch: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=chonglu/tar&id=2e5aded6bd991ada5810d99cb6bfdc9bfe79c39b But this patch is still not merged. The #6397 is created to trace the long TMPDIR issue. --- So what's the status of the patch above Saul? It would seem that this sort of problem requires regular tests with a deep path. Can such a build be added to the YP set?
All are fixed in YP 1.8
