Hi, I recently ran into a problem that I described here: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8578 and while debugging this issue an other problem came to light.
I have a multimachine configuration (armv5/imx6) and the same distro for both of them (poky 2.0 RC based). I have some allarch packages which have no DEPENDS, however which have an RDEPENDS_${PN} setting. I can see that even though there were no changes to the recipe itself and also no changes to the recipes listed in RDEPENDS, my recipe still gets rebuilt each time. What we tried: <bluelightning> so cleansstate the recipe, change machine, cleansstate again, then build it, then change machine, build it again and note the first task that executes The logs for these steps, one with RDEPENDS and one without are at the end of this mail. I can see that with present RDEPENDS "real" tasks get executed even though no changes occured in the recipe; this is not the case when I drop RDEPENDS. Is this a bug or is this just something that needs to be documented? What is the "desired" behaviour? Kind regards, Sergey What I get with RDEPENDS is: *********** NOTE: Running setscene task 347 of 374 (/oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_populate_sysroot_setscene) NOTE: Running setscene task 350 of 374 (/oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_packagedata_setscene) NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_populate_sysroot_setscene: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_packagedata_setscene: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_populate_sysroot_setscene: Succeeded NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_packagedata_setscene: Succeeded NOTE: Running setscene task 352 of 374 (/oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_package_setscene) NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_setscene: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_setscene: Succeeded NOTE: Running task 1175 of 1181 (ID: 14, /oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_package_write_ipk) NOTE: Running task 1176 of 1181 (ID: 9, /oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_package_qa) NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_write_ipk: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_qa: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_qa: Succeeded NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_package_write_ipk: Succeeded NOTE: Running noexec task 1179 of 1181 (ID: 10, /oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_build) NOTE: Running task 1180 of 1181 (ID: 11, /oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_rm_work) NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_rm_work: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_rm_work: Succeeded NOTE: Running task 1181 of 1181 (ID: 12, /oe/dss-oe/yocto/dS/meta-digitalstrom-devel/recipes-digitalstrom/dss11-help/dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr_0.9.bb, do_rm_work_all) NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_rm_work_all: Started NOTE: recipe dss11-installation-manual-tr-tr-0.9-r2: task do_rm_work_all: Succeeded *********** We can see that some "real" tasks are getting executed (do_package_write_ipk).
