If I have a package X that depends on X-native and they build from the same sources, doesn't the fetch step duplicate effort if the sources need to be downloaded from scratch? I just saw this [appear to] happen and it's not clear if the sources were downloaded once or twice.
I this is the case, perhaps if X depends on X-native then X.fetch should depend on X-native.fetch so then download happens only once? Or is that too hard to detect? For many packages (and fast network links) this probably isn't an issue, but I could imagine some very large packages simply wasting network bandwidth. Note: I'm happy if I'm wrong about this, it just jumped out at me. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
