Hi guys,
Question for you, we were using Yocto 1.6, and I am proceeding to upgrade to
2.2, going one release at a time. Upgrade to 1.7 was with no problem, but 1.8
seems to have an issue due to missing work-shared/<machine>/kernel-source
folder (aka STAGING_KERNEL_DIR or KERNEL_SRC). The folder appears missing and
the main reason behind it is the usage of externalsrc for the kernel. The
kernel.bbclass appears to copy the ${S} content to ${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR}
folder, but it does so under the do_unpack function via
base_do_unpack_append(). The thing is that the externalsrc.bbclass remove the
fetch/unpack task from existing for any package, including kernel. It is yet,
interesting to see that the base_do_unpack_append() function does check for the
presence of EXTENRAL_SRC variable, even if that task for this context is never
ran.
As such, I am unclear about what the ideal way to resolve this is, as I
required the folder, and in previous release this was created in the
do_install. So I am thinking of putting it back there, yet, I do not
understand why the EXTERNAL_SRC variable is referred from unpack, which seems
like a noop to me, and as such I am afraid to have miss something.
Any help appreciated.
