As introduced by a56fb90dc3805494eeaf04c60538425e8d52efc5 ('base.bbclass wipe ${S} before unpacking source') the base.bbclass uses a python anonymous function to set the 'do_unpack' varflag 'cleandirs' to either '${S}' or '${S}/patches' depending on equality of '${S}' and '${WORKDIR}'.
Not that this only differs from the way almost all other recipes set or modify a tasks 'cleandirs' flag, it also has a significant impact on the kernel.bbclass (and possibly further ones) and causes incorrect behavior for rebuilds triggered by source modification, e.g. by a change of the defconfig file for a kernel build. The kernel.bbclass tries to extend do_unpack[cleandirs]: | do_unpack[cleandirs] += " ${S} ${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR} ${B} ${STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR}" As python anonymous functions are evaluated at the very end of recipe parsing, the d.setVarFlag('do_unpack', 'cleandirs', '${S}') statement in base.bbclass will overwrite every modification to cleandirs that is done as shown for the kernel class above. As a result of this, a change to a kernels 'defconfig' will lead to an updated defconfig file in ${WORKDIR}, but as ${B} never gets cleaned and ${B}/.config still exists, it will not be copied to ${B}/.config and thus not find its way in the build kernel. This is a severe issue for the kernel development and build process! This patch changes setting of the cleandirs varflag in base.bbclass to a simple variable assignment as almost all other recipes do it. This now again allows overwriting or appending the varflag with common methods such as done in kernel.bbclass. This issue affects morty, pyro, rocko and master.
