I've wondered if we should split bitbake -S printdiff into a separate utility? It exists from a time before we had bitbake command APIs. I'm curious to see what you find with analysis of bitbake-whatchanged. I'm also somewhat surprised the scenarios you're testing all work! I'm guess one of the commits I pointed to must have fixed them (the removal of paths from the sig files)? Cheers, Richard
