We are also attempting to use BitBake +OE for development. We have a several packagaes (a hypervisor, a kernel patched to use that hypervisor, some libraries that act as glue between the two, and some bits for bootloading) that are under active development, and build several customised root images baseed on micro to run on top.
Problems we've faced are that bitbake doesn't keep track of interpackage dependencies except by PR, so the normal `test think edit build test ...' cycle is complicated by having to remember to remove the packages we want rebuilt from the various caches that oe maintains. Setting BB_STAMP_POLICY="full" helps for this. -- Dr Peter Chubb www.nicta.com.au peter DOT chubb AT nicta.com.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia >From Imagination to Impact Imagining the (ICT) Future _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
