Hi, I'm trying to put in place a development workflow using the PR server, RPM package feeds and smart update/install on a target.
I see that when I modify and rebuild my recipe, foo, the PR server increments its count within the RPM filename, but the RPM feed data doesn't seem to update. e.g. in my deploy/rpm/cortexa9_vfp_neon folder I see a change (say) from foo-1.7.11-r0.1.cortexa9_vfp_neon.rpm to foo-1.7.11-r0.2.cortexa9_vfp_neon.rpm However if I then run smart on the target (configured to use that rpm package feed) I don't see new packages smart update Similarly if I remove the package and reinstall it I get an error smart remove foo smart install foo Fetching packages... -> http://pkgrepo.my.local/.../foo-1.7.11-r0.1.cortexa9_vfp_neon.rpm foo-1.7.11-r0.1... [ 0%] error: Failed to download packages: error: http://pkgrepo.my.local/cortexa9_vfp_neon/foo-1.7.11-r0.1.cortexa9_vfp_neon.rpm: File not found I believe this is because the old package has been removed, and the new package added to the folder, but the repodata has not been rebuilt, leaving the packages out of sync with the feed representation. If then try running bitbake package-index When I now run an update on the target it picks up the new package and I can fetch and install this smart update Updating cache... ######################################## [100%] Channels have 3 new packages: foo-1.7.11-r0.3@cortexa9_vfp_neon ... So if I am understanding the above correctly, when I make a change to a recipe and build it, PR automatically updates, the old RPM is removed and the new RPM added to the feed directory. However the package index for the feed is not updated. So if at that point I try to make use of the feed on a target I am likely to find something is broken. If that is true would it make sense to leave the old RPM in the feed directory until package-index is re-ran, or to run package-index automatically at the end of a build when RPMs have changed?
