Occasionally, we see errors on our autobuilders where a setscene task fails to retrieve a file from our global sstate cache. It typically looks something like this:
WARNING: zip-3.0-r2 do_populate_sysroot_setscene: Failed to fetch URL file://66/sstate:zip:core2-64-poky-linux:3.0:r2:core2-64:3:\ 66832b8c4e7babe0eac9d9579d1e2b6a_populate_sysroot.tgz;\ downloadfilename=66/sstate:zip:core2-64-poky-linux:3.0:r2:core2-64:3:\ 66832b8c4e7babe0eac9d9579d1e2b6a_populate_sysroot.tgz, attempting MIRRORS if available ERROR: zip-3.0-r2 do_populate_sysroot_setscene: Fetcher failure: Unable to find file file://66/sstate:zip:core2-64-poky-linux:3.0:r2:core2-64:3:\ 66832b8c4e7babe0eac9d9579d1e2b6a_populate_sysroot.tgz;\ downloadfilename=66/sstate:zip:core2-64-poky-linux:3.0:r2:core2-64:3:\ 66832b8c4e7babe0eac9d9579d1e2b6a_populate_sysroot.tgz anywhere. The paths that were searched were: /home/pkj/.openembedded/sstate-cache ERROR: zip-3.0-r2 do_populate_sysroot_setscene: No suitable staging package found WARNING: Setscene task (meta/recipes-extended/zip/zip_3.0.bb:do_populate_sysroot_setscene) failed with exit code '1' - real task will be run instead As the last warning indicates, the build will proceed and the real task will run and the build will eventually complete. However, due to the two errors above, bitbake will return with an error code which causes the autobuilder to treat the build as failed and it proceeds to throw everything it built away. Since this is quite pointless and causes unnecessary build resources to be spent and grief from the developers, the two patches in this change set turn the errors from setscene tasks into warnings. PATCHv2: The bitbake part has been sent to the bitbake mailing list instead. //Peter The following changes since commit bc2e0b2e9b95707d96c840dade12b00e1450ecc3: libsdl: Move PACKAGECONFIG options from meta-mingw (2017-08-29 12:23:10 +0100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib pkj/setscene-errors http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=pkj/setscene-errors Peter Kjellerstedt (1): sstate.bbclass: Do not cause build failures due to setscene errors meta/classes/sstate.bbclass | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.12.0 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
