It's likely that sharing DL_DIR directly between multiple users is not a heavily tested scenario. One way around it which is fairly widely used though is to set up a local mirror shared by all of the build machines and keep DL_DIR separate on each machine. There is some information on how to do that here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/How_do_I#Q:_How_do_I_create_my_own_source_download_mirror_.3F Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
