How do we get Yocto to react to FILES changes, short of blowing away
the entire build tree?
Maybe related to this change:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py?id=f7f5e30667e1ad8e1ca76ee331be2843f2976bfa
Actually, the problem was that I had an accidental local change applied
to the .json manifest file; that's where the
"${libdir}/python2.7/encodings" was
being deleted.
So, the issues are now is that
FILES_${PN}_remove = "${libdir}/python2.7/encodings"
in fact does not work, as I believed. It doesn't register at all. If I
run "bitbake -e", to find the places that influence the value of $FILES,
this _remove assignment doesn't appear anywhere. In fact, the name of my
.bbpappend file doesn't even appear anywhere in that listing.
If I change it to just FILES_remove = ... then it does show up in
"bitbake -e" (early, before all the base recipe manipulations of
$FILES). It doesn't work; the encodings do not disappear:
$FILES [527 operations]
# set /mnt/sdb4/kaz/proj/poky/meta/conf/bitbake.conf:288
# ""
# set /mnt/sdb4/kaz/proj/poky/meta/conf/documentation.conf:169
# [doc] "The list of directories or files that are placed in
packages."
# _remove
/mnt/sdb4/kaz/proj/meta-custom/common/recipes-devtools/python/python_%.bbappend:15
# "${libdir}/python2.7/encodings"
[ big snip ]
# override[python-core]:append python_2.7.15.bb:220
[__anon_238__mnt_sdb4_kaz_y25_wp76_poky_meta_recipes_devtools_python_python_2_7_15_bb]
# " ${libdir}/python2.7/encodings"
I think this override might be winning over the _remove or something.
The output never shows the final, settled value of FILES. At the bottom
of this section about the $FILES variable we just have:
# pre-expansion value:
# ""
FILES=""
which is uninformative; obviously there is a populated FILES because the
package has files in it.
Should I just add some install append steps to "rm -f" the unwanted
material and be done with it?
I feel there should be a sane way to customize the FILES variable (and
any other) emanating from a base recipe, though.
