The PRServer bumps PR according to do_package's task hash, that
causes it bumps *all* packages' PR when recipes like pseudo-native
and rpm-native is changed. It is a very bad user experience when we
run "smart/opkg upgrade" on running target, for example, when we apply
a CVE patch to pseudo-native or rpm-native, or do some slight changes
in their do_compile, "smart/opkg upgrade" will download/install *all*
the packages since all of the packages' PR are bumped.
Here are some rough suggestions to fix this problem, and please feel
free to give your suggestions.
1) Do not use do_package's task for bumping PR, the easiest way
is simulate manually bump PR -- only bump PR when the recipe
itself's checksum is changed.
2) Add a new task for PRServer, redefine its task hash for bumping
PR, for example, this task hash only considers RDEPENDS (no
DEPENDS), and drop any native dependencies.
I prefer the first way, and an alternative way maybe add a var so that
the user can configure it:
PR_CHECKSUM = "${BB_TASKHASH}" (current way)
Or
PR_CHECKSUM = "<recipe checksum>"
