Unable to build

Unable to build

[Gary Thomas]

After a recent update, I'm now getting this error in a previously
working setup.

ERROR:  OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration.
     Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).
     Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

     Your configuration is using stamp files including the sstate hash but your build directory was built with stamp files that do not include this.
To continue, either rebuild or switch back to the OEBasic signature handler with BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER = 'OEBasic'.

I'm using my own distro.conf (not poky.conf), and I'm not setting
BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER anywhere, so I think it should already be
set to OEBasic.  I even tried to put that line (cut & pasted
from the error message) in local.conf - no change.

How can I get past this, short of a complete rebuild?

You've somehow merged a change like:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta-yocto?id=ea2c8defd570bc2c4d29c6b0bd9fd84865d4e144

which sets OELAYOUT_ABI = "8" and triggers the transition message about
OEBasicHash. Set it to "7" and it won't show that message.

Cheers,

Richard

OK, that's a workaround for now, but isn't the message incorrect?
Changing BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER doesn't seem to let me move on even
though the error message implies it should.

Thanks

You had an invalid configuration which is not supported. The whole idea
of that setting is so that build directories which were built with
layout "7", which is OEBasic layout get a message if they update to
after the OEBasicHash change so that they either rebuild the tmp
directory, or they revert to a commit which doesn't have the change.

Cheers,

Richard

But the message doesn't _really_ say that - it implies that simply
setting BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER = 'OEBasic' will work.  I think it
should just be reworded to say you have to rebuild...
