I have a recipe that basically is repackaging an Debian package. We don't have the source so we cannot build the package directly.
I have to patch the "postinst" file that is within the "control.tar.xz" file. I wrote a task "do_prepare" that will expand the "control.tar.xz" file and I want to ensure the task is run before the "do_patch" task but after the "do_fetch" task. I added this addtask do_prepare after do_unpack before do_patch Sometimes this fails and the "do_patch" task does not see the extracted content to patch. Adding in a "-D" to the bitbake command will sometimes cause a difference in what I perceive to be timing and the recipe builds fine. I have not been able to figure out what the issue is. If I look at the dependencies of the recipe's "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_patch" task, I see for my recipe which is "zebra-scanner-corescanner" - patch-native:do_populate_sysroot - quilt-native:do_populate_sysroot - zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_prepare - zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_unpack and for for the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_prepare" task I see: - zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_unpack Being a bit new to this, I think the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_patch" should wait for all of its tasks to complete before it runs and those tasks might be run in parallel, one of which will be the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_unpack" but the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_prepare" also has a dependency on the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_unpack" so ultimately the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_patch" should be waiting until the "zebra-scanner-corescanner:do_prepare" completes. However it appears that sometimes it does not. Anyone have any ideas on this? -- Brett M.
