Hello, I'm still fairly new to Yocto, and having some trouble with kernel packaging taking an extremely long time. I will try and keep details as simple as possible to explain my situation.
I am building images for the machine "imx6qsabrelite" in the "meta-fsl-arm" BSP layer using Poky 1.3 (danny). To make it easier to test out changes to the linux kernel source, I have a copy of the source in a local subversion repository, which is checked out to a local working copy. I have created a kernel recipe to inherit "externalsrc" and set "S" to the local working copy directory. I have added a "configure_prepend" task to stage the build directory. I use "bitbake core-image-minimal" to build the image. Here is what I have found from checking the "do_package" task duration of the kernel in the build stats: 1. Using a local working copy directory (subversion 1.6), the duration exceeds 4000 seconds. 2. Using a local working copy directory (subversion 1.7), the duration takes approximately 800 seconds. 3. Using the original kernel recipe which obtains the kernel source off a Git repository from the internet, the duration takes approximately 400 seconds. Checking the "do_package" task, it seems like all directories and sub-directorys of the source are checked recursively in the process. I think it's safe to say that the number of subversion administrative directorys is affecting the "do_package" task duration. Is there any way to make the "do_package" task ignore .svn administrative directories? _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
