I could use some help in understanding how to create a task that is always
executed. I initially tried just setting task[nostamp]="1". However, it
appeared that the sstate cache was preventing bitbake from even considering the
task's stamp. So I set SSTATETASKS="" in an attempt to completely disable the
sstate cache for this recipe. However, the image.do_rootfs task then complains
that it can't find the RPM. It looks to me like it is actually one of the
sstate tasks that copies the RPM to the proper location. Clearly I'm not going
about this the right way. Is there a simple way to ensure the RPM is always
rebuilt? Below is a snippet from the recipe I attempted.
# The install task creates a file with some continuously changing information
# (for example, the time of the build, just for argument's sake)
do_install () {
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
date >> ${D}${sysconfdir}/${PN}
}
# We want to make sure the latest information is included every time we build
the
# image that includes this package. So force the install task to always be
executed.
do_install[nostamp] = "1"
SSTATETASKS = ""
# We don't need many of the tasks, so disable them
do_fetch[noexec] = "1"
do_unpack[noexec] = "1"
do_patch[noexec] = "1"
do_configure[noexec] = "1"
do_compile[noexec] = "1"
Thank you,
Brian
