Dec 27 00:12:35 However, the source directory is not writeable and that seems to be an issue for bitbake. Dec 27 00:12:57 Is there a way to point EXTERNALSRC to a read-only location? Dec 27 00:32:03 point S wherever you want Dec 27 01:25:59 Looking through externalsrc.bbclass, it seems that this is hard-coded behavior for ${S} Dec 27 01:26:02 d.appendVarFlag(task, "lockfiles", " ${S}/singletask.lock") **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 27 02:59:57 2019
