Description Belen Barros Pena 2014-10-01 14:12:00 UTC 
Currently, Toaster users can only cancel builds before the build actually starts. Once the build starts in the build servers, users can no longer cancel the build: they must wait until the build process finishes.

Users should be able to cancel builds at any time.
Comment 1 Belen Barros Pena 2015-04-30 13:04:17 UTC 
Moving this to 1.9, since it is relevant for the image recipe customisation feature.
Comment 2 Belen Barros Pena 2015-06-30 10:12:02 UTC 
This has no assignee, but the image customisation feature, as designed, relies on having a layers parse that can be cancelled by users, which seems connected to this feature.

Design - Cancelling builds

Adding a 'Cancelling' state for builds, as suggested by David Reyna, since builds can take some time to stop
Comment 7 Sujith H 2016-02-03 14:08:51 UTC 
The patches are under review.
Comment 8 Henry Bruce 2016-02-26 23:22:34 UTC 
This strikes me a key feature rather than an enhancement. I frequently interrupt builds when I realize that I have made a configuration error.

I'd vote for increasing priority.

The implementation has been accepted to bitbake master: http://cgit.openembedded.org/bitbake/commit/?id=a724d6aa7515e712a1d656e46e1d0f3bf7d4cea9
