That screams race condition, so I'll look into it from that angle.

I'm considering providing simple old-style recipes for vanilla kernels
and using them in my jenkins builds instead linux-yocto, because kernel
shouldn't block testing other recipes from meta-oe and other layers as
often as linux-yocto does.

I wasn't aware of linux-yocto breaking that often?

Someone can query http://errors.yoctoproject.org/ database to see how
often (or if it's just me and my builds), unfortunately the full-text
search for "linux-yocto" doesn't provide good overview of issues,
because it shows 350 errors and not all are from linux-yocto recipe.

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Bitbake_World_Status* pages and status
on e-mail also aren't very accurate because I submit only reports from
relatively success full builds (so I usually skip the builds with failed
kernel, unless it's failing like that for long time).

I am aware that:

* we have a race issue with shared_work which we're trying to resolve
   and its proving tricky to find a patch which doesn't break builds

* we have the newly reported issue in this thread. FWIW the builders
   I've seen are all green

* there are some warnings in the build which need addressing

but on the most part I thought we'd caught the serious kernel failures
in advance of changes hitting master. Are you using master-next or
master?

I've used master-next week or two ago (mostly to test bluez4 and python3
changes) and soon after that dropped all linux-yocto related changes
from it assuming that it's indeed cause for the issues I'm seeing, but
it's not and it's still failing with master as well (and my
jenkins/world builds are just small portion of my builds executed
elsewhere where I see similar issues).

Richard: How can we sort out the differences between the build
environment that Martin uses versus what the autobuilder is showing?

There's nothing particularly complex happening during that build,
it's a checkout and generation of a config.

I'm unable to reproduce any of the failures, and neither is the
autobuilder.

I've stared at the code and can't see what could cause any of this.

That being said, I think I have a solution to what Martin is reporting
here, where I've changed the way the meta data is maintained and
build.

It will be ready in a week or so, so I'd be interested in us holding
on anything drastic until we can try that out.

Its its -next, I can understand the problems more as that has been
unstable recently but then by its nature, it can be. We are rooting out
problems before master afaict though?

Cheers,

Richard
