Hi all,

to start with a disclaimer, I'm a total noob when it comes to Open Embedded
/ Embedded Linux / Yocto / BitBake stuff. That said, I'm in need of
creating SPDX documents for Yocto projects in the context of [1]. I'm
already quite far in that I work with Poky and programmatically run
something like

bitbake -r
/home/sebastian/Development/GitHub/doubleopen-project/ort/plugins/package-managers/bitbake/src/main/resources/spdx.conf
-c create_spdx xmlto

However, I continuously run into various build problems on my Fedora 40
machine (one of which has been recently addressed by [2]), let alone the
time it takes to build something from scratch, even something as small as
e.g. the "xmlto" target. So, ideally, I would be able to create SPDX
documents without really building any binaries at all. I probably want all
the source download and patching to happen, in order to archive the patched
code that goes into the binaries, but skip the actual compiler / linker
invocations to save time, and just create the SPDX documents.

Is something like this already possible somehow, maybe by setting from
compiler / linker variables to fake scripts that just do nothing?

Thanks for any insights!
