Source distribution broken?

Source distribution broken?

[Anders Törnqvist]

Hi,

Is the source distribution functionality broken?

This is set in local.conf:
SRC_DIST_LOCAL = "copy"
INHERIT += "src_distribute_local"

New checkout of OE from git.
Have tried different builds for MACHINE=beagleboard and images minimal-image and
base-image.

The only thing that is stored in the TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources is a MIT
directory with the minimal-image/minimal-image.bb file.


In src_distribute.bbclass there is a line
addtask distribute_sources before do_build after do_fetch
Does do_build actually get run for every task?

If set to something else instead of "do_build" like "do_compile" will trigger a
lot of src_distribute calls and copying of files for a lot of licenses to
TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources.

Any ideas?

/Anders

I see substantially similar behavior, and am glad to know it's not
just me.  (Thanks, by the way, for mentioning the change from
"do_build" to "do_compile".)

I see a few more files on my system.  Curiously, and perhaps
significantly, they correspond to the targets that I pass to bitbake.
That is, I run "bitbake x-load u-boot-omap3 linux-omap3 company-image"
(where company-image extends micro-image), and inside
TMPDIR/deploy/uclibc/sources/ I have GPLv2+/x-load,
GPLv2/u-boot-omap3, GPLv2/linux-omap3 and MIT/company-image.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with OpenEmbedded or bitbake
to help much beyond this.  Hopefully someone else on the list can
help.

hmm I get it properly populated for console-image, do_build is added in
base.bbclass I think it should be there for all recipes

Hmm. I do not get the TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources populated by any other sources
than the console-image.bb file in a MIT directory.

I have tested several builds with different images (micro, minimal, console,
base) in combination with DISTRO set to "angstrom-2008.1".
These combinations have I build based on release 2010.12 from tar file as well
as a GIT dev-branch dated christmas.

The result is always that the TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources is not populated.

On the other hand is the  TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources always populated if I add
"-c buildall" in all combinations (image, distro, and branch) mentioned above.

"-c distribute_sources_all" also always work to get TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources
populated.

Isn't the idea that TMPDIR/deploy/glibc/sources should be populated
automatically without having to add "-c buildall"?

Try bitbake minimal-image -c buildall

As far as I got it, do_build target is *not* invoked for each dependent package while building image since it is not required (unlike do_compile which is required). To ensure that do_build is called for each packet belonging to image, you should use do_buildall target for whole image.

I suppose (never tried) that calling bitbake minimal-image -c distribute_sources_all is enough to generate sources if you just need them.
