I've been giving things some thought, specifically why sstate doesn't
get used more and why we have people requesting external toolchains. I'm
guessing the issue is that people don't like how often sstate can change
and the lack of an easy way to lock it down.
Locking it down is actually quite easy so I thought I'd share a quick
proof of concept of how you can do this (for example to a specific
toolchain). With an addition like this to local.conf (or wherever):
SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS = "\
gcc-cross:do_populate_sysroot:a8d91b35b98e1494957a2ddaf4598956 \
eglibc:do_populate_sysroot:13e8c68553dc61f9d67564f13b9b2d67 \
eglibc:do_packagedata:bfca0db1782c719d373f8636282596ee \
gcc-cross:do_packagedata:4b601ff4f67601395ee49c46701122f6 \
"
the code at the end of the email will force the hashes to those values
for the recipes mentioned. The system would then find and use those
specific objects from the sstate cache instead of trying to build
anything.
Obviously this is a little simplistic, you might need to put an override
against this to only apply those revisions for a specific architecture
for example. You'd also probably want to put code in the sstate hash
validation code to ensure it really did install these from sstate since
if it didn't you'd want to abort the build.
Anyhow, I thought I'd put this out there and see if there is interest in
better supporting this kind of usage of sstate?
Cheers,
Richard
