Hi guys,
I struggle to figure out an issue that I lately got into. I want to have
a recipe which writes a manifest of all the layers part of the build.
These layers are all git repositories and I want their revision to be
exposed at runtime. So I obviously have a a python function which
computes let's say, for the sake of example, a revision of one layer.
def get_rev(d):
# returns revision of a repository
LAYER_REVISION := "${get_rev(d)}"
The recipe also has a `do_compile` variable dependency:
do_compile[vardeps] += "LAYER_REVISION"
Checking the task signature I see the inclusion of the expanded variable
LAYER_REVISION.
Now, if I externally change the revision of that respective layer the
task is not re-triggered even so the recipe environment reports the
updated variable (bitbake -e). What is even more confusing is that if
for whatever reason the do_compile task gets invalidated (or I force
it), the build system returns a "basehash value changed" error.
I would expect that the change of revision to trickle a task
invalidation and the task to be rerun but that doesn't seem to happen as
described above.
