**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 27 02:59:56 2021 Apr 27 07:25:19 good morning Apr 27 08:23:12 Hi, it seems that bitbake does not track addition or removal of files for directory dependencies in SRC_URI. Is there any way to force this? Apr 27 09:42:06 Herdinger: you mean, you add a directory to SRC_URI, change something IN the directory and it is not being caught up? well yes, thats intended behaviour at the moment. reason: how would you reproducibly evaluate the metadata if globbing external files is required? Apr 27 09:42:32 Herdinger: for development puposes, you can resort to EXTERNAL_SRC respectively devtool modify. Apr 27 09:49:12 Herdinger: bump PR? Apr 27 10:40:33 LetoThe2nd: Question, if I add a glob to the SRC_URI like test/* then the files hashes get collected once at recipe parse time and don't change until I change the bb file right? Apr 27 10:42:33 LetoThe2nd: I'm developing a class that copies files from a specific directory in the workdir and wanted things to be convenient for class users. Apr 27 10:43:34 Herdinger: nope, i don't think that it works that way. i might be mistaken, but IIRC globbing in SRC_URI is just not supported. Apr 27 10:44:10 Herdinger: it is not the files' hashes that are collected, it is the hash of the variable SRC_URI content. Apr 27 10:45:57 LetoThe2nd: That makes sense. But don't the globs also get expanded into actual filehashes on build invocation https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/blob/a1848a481e36b729c8e4130c394b1d462d4b488a/lib/bb/checksum.py#L76? Apr 27 10:46:19 LetoThe2nd; In that case my usecase would work if the ** operatator would be supported... Apr 27 10:54:26 Herdinger: i don't remember the details, but there were reasons why the operator is not supported on SRC_URI **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 28 02:59:56 2021
