The biggest pain I've had is with packages versioned like "embryo-0.9.1.042+cvs20080522" when the build crosses midnight UTC. It runs some of the steps like do_fetch and do_compile on the 22nd, but the date has advanced by the time it tries to do do_install and it looks for a non-existent "...cvs20080523" directory. Deleting all of the tmp/stamps/... files for the affected package and then rebuilding works around this, but it would be nice to have a proper fix.
This is the reason why every recipe in OE which depends on a revision control system state *must* have an entry in sane-srcdates or sane-srcrevs which ties it to a known good version, and any image building activity must include both of those.
Without that discipline, chaos rules. -- Rod
