Can you clarify for me if you are are using SRC_URI items tagged with
'kmeta', i.e. a directory of fragments, or are you just adding
.cfg/.scc
items directly to the SRC_URI ?

I do both:

in the 1st layer, my kernel recipe boils down to:

SRC_URI = "\
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-
stable.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH} \
    file://0001-a-patch.patch \
    file://kernel-meta;type=kmeta;destsuffix=${KMETA} \
"

KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/some-patches.scc"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/more-patches.scc"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " patches/even-more-patches.scc"

some of the above in turn include additional .scc items recursively.


In the 2nd layer, my .bbappend boils down to:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${BPN}-4.4:"

KERNEL_FEATURES_append_tgm = " patches/tgm.scc"

2nd-layer.scc is located in ${THISDIR}/kernel-meta/patches/ in the 2nd
layer. I don't specifically add another SRC_URI item tagged with 'kmeta'
(or
any other explicit SRC_URI item for that matter).

One more clarification. From our problem description, are you saying
that in your runs, only the meta data from layer2 is getting copied
and not that from layer1 ?

That is what I had inferred from the error message:

I ran my sanity test, and saw meta data from both my layers copied ..
so I'm worried that I misunderstood the issue you are seeing.

I can see that they are actually copied indeed, but it doesn't find them...
The file /tmp/tmp.v9LU9ccpbl mentioned above is empty.

But looking at the code, I can definitely do some minor tweaks in this
area .. I'm just trying to get the reproducer nailed down.

I can try to create one for you if you prefer tomorrow, rather than wasting
your time with this, if you don't get any further?

I was able to trigger a similar trap to the above. And yes, it was sort
of working by luck before.

I need to stare at this for a few hours and figure out the right way to
restore similar behaviour. But now .. sleep.

Cheers,

Bruce
