I almost wonder if we should consider adding a task which handles the above in addition to the standard bitbake clean. I was burned a few weeks ago by having a stale package in my deploy directory that kept getting chosen over the new one I was building due to some versioning nastiness. I can see how automatically purging stuff from deploy would be considered destructive, but IMHO there should be a command which just nukes every last bit of a package the build system knows about. --Chris _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
