It will run everything necessary up to and including that task. If everything, including that task, have already been run, it will run only the specified task again. You can verify this with: 1 $ bitbake virtual/kernel 2 $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c kernel_configme -f 3 $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c cleansstate 4 $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c kernel_configme -f #2 will only run kernel_configme #4 will run everything after fetch up to and including kernel_configme. This usage helps us keep the documentation concise rather than having to spell out how to get to a specific state in order for the command used to work correctly. > > also in that section, "are not't" should just say "aren't" in sample >warning output. This output should be updated for 1.8 as config warnings are now sent to the console and not just buried in the logs. Yay! -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center
