**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 31 02:59:58 2016 Aug 31 06:17:48 anyone around know, is there a way to use bb.fatal w/o it throwing a trace? I'm using bb.fatal in an event -- but I get a back trace and it ends up obscuring the error message Aug 31 12:56:40 anyone know why SRC_URI files isn't copied to the WORKDIR for image recipes? (inherit image) Aug 31 12:58:56 mago__: in image.bbclass: do_fetch[noexec] = "1" Aug 31 12:59:16 so there is no 'fetch' task for images Aug 31 12:59:32 ah, so i can re-enable by clearing that variable flag in my image recipe? Aug 31 13:00:31 i am not sure how safe this is going to be.. Aug 31 13:01:17 not sure why you would need that too. there are many other tasks which are skipped for images. they are really 'special' recipes. Aug 31 13:01:33 i'll just rework it so that the image installs a recipe instead.. i was just trying to bypass some work to save time, guess i didn't ;-) Aug 31 13:01:58 it's probably much better this way.. ;-) Aug 31 13:02:02 thanks Aug 31 13:02:41 ndec: btw, if i inherit image, i still don't end up with a completely empty image. do you know why? Aug 31 13:02:56 i had to hax it by adding a postprocess command that cleans up some files Aug 31 13:03:15 hmm. what do you mean? Aug 31 13:03:44 well, if i just create an image recipe that inherits image.bbclass, and build that. i would expect it generates an empty rootfs. it doesn't Aug 31 13:04:00 it contains a usr lib etc and var dir Aug 31 13:04:16 by no means a complete rootfs, but still a few stray files Aug 31 13:05:22 there could be some default variables, i have never tried that.. Aug 31 16:13:36 mago__: presumably some minimum is part of the image construction process due to the use of the package manager to install packages into the image Aug 31 16:13:40 * kergoth yawns Aug 31 18:04:04 What is the best way to announce downtime to the OE community? Aug 31 18:04:19 Looking at http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo none of the lists seem correct. Aug 31 18:09:45 lol Aug 31 18:09:52 too many lists Aug 31 18:09:55 spam them all Aug 31 18:18:40 Crofton|work, Alright if you say so. :) Aug 31 18:18:51 that is what we usuually do Aug 31 23:19:07 Dumb question... Does bitbake itself have any built-in tasks or are the typical ones that I am reading about such as "compile", "configure", "build" just part of the metadata distributed with openembedded or yocto? I'm having a tough time grokking how this all fits together. Aug 31 23:21:47 bitbake very likely has little built in stuff. Or did originally. Aug 31 23:28:03 Does the variable SRC_URI actually have any special meaning in bitbake or is it just a convention to put the URI of the source code in that variable because tasks defined in higher-level metadata packages expect it to be there? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 01 02:59:58 2016
