Re: [OE-core] why does using ${AUTOREV} with kernel recipe rebuild every time?
You didn't say which Yocto release that WRL build was using, maybe your deploy artifacts are changing due to package_get_auto_pr calls or not excluded DATETIME in your filenames as described in:
[OE-core] why does using ${AUTOREV} with kernel recipe rebuild every time?
i *know* i should know the answer to this, but someone just showed me a build (WRLinux-based, but still relevant) where the linux kernel recipe uses: SRCREV_machine = ${AUTOREV} which is what one reads in the WRL version of linux-yocto-custom.bb, but also makes it clear in that recipe file
