PR server question

PR server question

[Gary Thomas]

I'm using a local PR server for my builds, working on my Linux
kernel.  When I run this sequence:
   $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c devshell
     ... fiddle with some kernel sources
   $ bitbake virtual/kernel -C compile; bitbake package-index
I notice that the package revision for 'kernel-image-*' goes up
by 3 on every iteration.

Not that it makes much difference (or does it?), but does this
make sense?  Why does it not just increase by 1 since I've only
actually rebuilt the package once?

I don't remember if it was resolved already, but before it was caused by
qemuarm/qemux86/qemux86-64 using different SRCREVs so it was bumped 3
times every time it was parsed (and causing continual rebuilds for
multi-machine builds).

Now the continual rebuilds should be fixed by PR server returning the
same number to each MACHINE, but maybe there was something left.
