Hi Bruce, et al. Has anyone given any thought to trying to add an sstate enabled task between compile and bundle_initramfs that would capture the necessary artifacts for the downstream tasks to run without necessarily actually recompiling the kernel if nothing in the kernel code/config has changed? I ask because we've got a few embedded systems that use just a bundled kernel/initramfs to run, and it seems quite a waste of compute time to recompile the kernel every time the initramfs changes image signature (and we can't be the only ones for whom the compute time savings would be nonzero).
On the other hand, I'm guessing smarter people than I have already thought of said question... so before I dig too far, I figured I'd ask if there's a reason this hasn't been done, or if you think it's worth pursuing (and no one else has had the time yet)? Thanks! -Sean McKay
