BOOT.bin is directly deployed to DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE #5

Closed kylemanna closed 6 years ago

kylemanna commented 6 years ago

They BOOT.bin binary is directly written to the ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE} which bypasses all the shared state caching and deployment clean-ups.

The deploy class and do_deploy are the proper ways to implement this. A warning is in the Yocto Project Mega Manual:

Caution Do not write the output directly to ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}, as this causes the sstate mechanism to malfunction.

This creates issues for me when BOOT.bin isn't deployed correctly breaking builds. Additionally it isn't cleaned-up.

This is being changed and reworked as a recipe instead of a class, please see mailing list for the patch. You could change DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE to DEPLOYDIR to see of it fixes your issue

Thanks, can you share a link to a mailing list archive somewhere? Curious to learn more.

A receipe sounds like a better approach then a image class.
