So, I'm in two minds about this one - it's largely an internal implementation detail, but if we did document how the file checksum stuff works then we should document the flag since most of the implementation for that is actually in BitBake - IIRC the only missing bit that is in OE is the bit that actually sets this flag on the appropriate task (do_fetch for OE). > * [lockfiles] Yes this one should be mentioned I think. > * [sstate-inputdirs] > * [sstate-outputdirs] > * [sstate-plaindirs] > * [sstate-lockfile-shared] Shared state is pretty much entirely an OE concept rather than a BitBake one and thus these wouldn't be appropriate for the BitBake manual, but they ought to be covered in the shared state documentation in the Yocto Project Reference manual - they are at least referred to in examples but at the moment there is no actual reference for them (which we should have). > and i already mentioned that [recideptask] was missing from that list. > are there any others? It's not unlikely that there are others, yes.
