I have now split up the populate_sdk_ext into separate functions [1] for better maintainability, and the more I think about what to do next, the more I agree with Adrian. I just don't see why (in a standard yocto build) would we want to manipulate PATH to provide a restricted set of tools, or to create a "local.conf+extra stuff" (locked signatures, esdk tweaks) environment, when existing local.conf by itself is already working fine, and full set of tools is better than a restricted one. If we want to add or remove locked signatures, this can be done with 'bitbake -s lockedsigs' or bblock for specific recipes only. And SDK's cross-toolchain is accessible via meta-ide-support/build-sysroots flow. [1] https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib/commit/?h=akanavin/sstate-for-all THAT SAID. I also agree there should be a way to package the 'standard yocto build' that does not also do 'weird esdk stuff' on top. Just a tarball that has 'everything', and that you unpack and get a standard build exactly like the one that was used to produce the tarball. Something like what Adrian suggested: basically place all information needed to replicate a build into one place, then either make a tarball out of it (with sstate for fast builds), or publish it into the network. We might be able to reuse some of esdk packaging code for this, or we might not, but I think this is the direction that should be taken. Alex
