I use BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1" to generate tarballs from the various git-based recipes I use. For the most part this works great and once the tar file is generated, it just gets reused.
However, just now I rebuilt my kernel which uses such a git SRC_URI and the tar file was rebuilt even though I can't see anything that was newly fetched. I had built from the same recipe yesterday (today I only touched a patch which changed neither the recipe nor the SRCREV, etc) and the tar file from last month was used. Looking through the generated tar file, I can see that the last file updated was last Oct 5, so there should have been no reason to rebuild the tar file. Is there some trace (log file, etc) that might tell me why this happened? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
