Mar 21 03:36:00 <yocti> New news from stackoverflow: meta-oe of meta-openembedded vs meta of Poky <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60784126/meta-oe-of-meta-openembedded-vs-meta-of-poky>
Mar 21 08:06:46 <yocti> New news from stackoverflow: What is the use of distro less yocto image and how to set it in local.conf file <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60785690/what-is-the-use-of-distro-less-yocto-image-and-how-to-set-it-in-local-conf-file>
Mar 21 11:33:09 <hpsy> Are links created by EXTERNALSRC_SYMLINKS actually needed for external source builds or can I set it to nothing?
Mar 21 16:47:12 <khem> RP: any hints on avoiding recheck ( git ls-remote ) when using AUTOREVs ? I would like to checkout once and then not check again the first checkout is good
Mar 21 16:49:01 <khem> I thought BB_SRCREV_POLICY = "cache" should do it but seems its not doing it
Mar 21 17:23:38 <RP> khem: that would have been my guess as well
Mar 21 17:24:19 <khem> RP: I think I should work towards a workflow that does not involve AUTOREV
Mar 21 17:25:09 <RP> khem: AUTOREV is hard on the system. Its probably been broken by some change as its not likely well tested in automated tests
Mar 21 17:30:57 <khem> RP: if there was a policy that checks it out and leaves it at that would fullfil my current need
Mar 21 17:34:43 <RP> khem: that is what cache is meant to do
Mar 21 17:34:50 <RP> khem: so really we should fix it
Mar 21 17:40:29 <kergoth> BB_SRCREV_POLICY="cache" has worked in the past, i've used it. been a while since i've tested it, though
Mar 21 17:42:13 <khem> kergoth: I am testing master and seems git ls-remote threads are running during parse
Mar 21 17:42:29 <kergoth> huh, sounds like we need extra unit tests for autorev
Mar 21 17:42:53 <RP> kergoth: I'm not sure we have any :(
Mar 21 17:43:15 * RP has spent nearly two days chasing a devtool bug which turns out to be in the remote datastore code :(
Mar 21 17:43:30 <RP> even seeing the issue I don't quite know what to do about it
Mar 21 17:43:41 <kergoth> i hate autorev when used with remote repos, but i could see using it with local repos as an alternative to externalsrc, since externalsrc still uses nostamp iirc (we should really fix that)
Mar 21 17:43:46 <kergoth> ugh
Mar 21 17:49:27 <khem> kergoth: I think I agree with you here
Mar 21 17:49:55 <khem> kergoth: it means a two step process, which means every component first commits the code change to component
Mar 21 17:50:11 <khem> then commits the metadata/recipe srcrev bump
Mar 21 17:51:09 <kergoth> hmm, i rather like the idea of using repo/submodules/whatever for actual source repos for in-development components alongside the layers, point the recipes to that, and arrange to pick up the local changes possibly with anonymous python
Mar 21 17:51:12 * kergoth ponders
Mar 21 17:52:42 <khem> kergoth: that does not scale for large projecrs with 100+ repos
Mar 21 17:54:27 <khem> with devtool do we have a way to checkout tip of tree with say devtool modify ...
Mar 21 17:58:17 <kergoth> true
Mar 21 17:58:28 <kergoth> devtool modify runs into the everything-is-nostamp issue though
Mar 21 18:01:34 <khem> kergoth: thats ok for devs though
Mar 21 18:01:51 <khem> they usually work in one or two components/recipes
Mar 21 18:01:54 <khem> at a time
Mar 21 18:02:48 <kergoth> true
Mar 21 18:04:10 <khem> so thinking about what you suggested with git submod design, will it track changes to sourcecode of those components
Mar 21 18:04:45 <khem> I want to get rid of AUTOREVs
Mar 21 18:08:28 * RP thinks the remotedata code is totally flawed :(
Mar 21 18:08:29 <yocti> New news from stackoverflow: How to build a linux for Intel galileo gen 2? <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60791177/how-to-build-a-linux-for-intel-galileo-gen-2>
Mar 21 18:08:42 <khem> and should it use file:// fetcher ? if so then will it copy sourcecode again into tmp/
Mar 21 18:08:47 <khem> during build
Mar 21 18:21:03 <kriive> hi guys, anyone has examples for a gitlab-ci based pipeline? I am currently using this one: https://gist.github.com/btgoodwin/028c3a63315a27cae3c5989455058eef
Mar 21 18:29:09 <khem> kriive:that seems to be good start
Mar 21 18:29:38 <khem> RP: with BB_SRCREV_POLICY = "cache" should I expect it to not reach out to check for revisions on second run ?
Mar 21 18:30:11 <khem> or will it just mean it wont bump the HEAD but still do all git network operations like ls-remote etc.
Mar 21 18:46:18 <dv> I add DEPENDS += "rsync-native" to build-applience recipe, but when I run my rsync action after do_fetch it says "command not found".
Mar 21 20:06:10 <mauz555> hello I installed 'mesa' but a specific header is missing when Im compiling my app recipe <EGL/eglmesaext.h>, any idea how to debug ?
Mar 21 20:31:59 <khem> dv: it has to be in HOSTTOOLS as well
Mar 21 20:32:22 <khem> mauz555: are you using some SOC specific OpenGL implementation ?
Mar 21 20:32:32 <khem> if so you might want to check it there
Mar 21 20:38:53 <mauz555> khem: yes there is 'mesa' files from poky:zeus and small bbappend from meta-freescale
Mar 21 20:41:58 <mauz555> any idea how and where to set a PACKAGECONFIG flag for a specific recipe?
Mar 21 20:47:12 <mauz555> khem: ty I found the fix
Mar 21 21:07:00 <khem> RP: I think this commit changed the behaviour https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/commit/?id=ba093a38539960e645e994a66ed7872a604c00a9
Mar 21 22:23:17 <RP> khem: hmm, that does sound like its broken the correct behaviour :(
Mar 21 22:24:17 <khem> RP: http://sprunge.us/64lmJh this fixes it
Mar 21 22:24:21 <khem> for me
Mar 21 22:24:42 <RP> khem: We should probably send email and ask Saur about it
Mar 21 22:24:56 <RP> This is why we need more tests
Mar 21 22:25:24 <khem> I have replied to original email but it does sound to me that its breaking existing behaviour
Mar 21 22:26:33 <RP> khem: yes, its incorrect and I shouldn't have merged it
Mar 21 22:27:10 <khem> should I send this patch on top to fix it
Mar 21 22:52:13 <RP> khem: I don't understand that original commit, should it be reverted entirely?
Mar 21 22:57:40 <khem> RP: yeah perhaps it should be reverted completely
