This is about the 4th time that I've `rm -rf`-d everything and started from
scratch and never yet got a working `bitbake omap3-console-image`
Every time I `git pull` it's a different set of problems. It's never the
same package twice, but they never all compile for the basic console image
anywhere from 4 to 20 hours in.
Fortunately, I do have a machine that did build omap3-console-image a few
weeks ago at work. But I've never been able to get it on my machine at home
(same os) to start playing around with.
What needs to happen in order for things to git checked that they work with
at least a few common meta-tasks before being pushed out?
And is there anything I can do to help? (Donate some machine time to run
tests, for example)
Obviously, we all have our day jobs and whatnot, but this is becoming really
frustrating for me and I'd like to see things improve.
If you are using dev head, you're living on the edge. If you can't
stand that better use the stable branch.
The biggest problem (as discussed at great length already) is that the
distance from 'dev' to 'stable' can be measured in years :-( 'stable'
just isn't useful at all for "current" work...
As far as there are issues:
Either report them, or better fix them.
(or as a workaround you could find the commit wthat broke it and
report that and perhaps temporariy locally revert that commit if you
cannot fix it).
Having said that:
I don't really see many issues. Maybe I'm building a different set of
packages or for a different set of hw or for a different distro.
Turning a blind eye, I would say. I (and others) have nearly 0%
success building any Angstrom image on an x86_64 based host. I've tried
the latest Ubuntu and Fedora - neither works, both yield different failures.
At least I have i686 build hosts to fall back on, but there are issues there
as well.
