Description Jacob Kroon 2014-06-06 16:27:11 UTC 
I have INHERIT += "rm_work" in my local.conf file, and this works great for normal builds. But when I create sdk's, all work directories for the nativesdk-* packages are left on disk. I guess this is not a bug, but due to the way rm_work.bbclass is implemented.
It would be nice if there was a way of having rm_work.bbclass also cleanup work/ after generating an SDK.

What we could do is add to rm_work.bbclass:

do_populate_sdk[postfuncs] += "rm_work_populatesdk"
rm_work_populatesdk () {
    :
}
rm_work_populatesdk[cleandirs] = "${WORKDIR}/sdk"

and probably something similar for do_rootfs too...
