Force clean of dependencies

Force clean of dependencies

[Ambrose, Martin]

Hello.

I have searched this list and googled but can't find a way to force a clean of
a package's dependencies. 

My example is that of mplayer which has ~17 dependent packages and I would like
to clean them all so I can rebuild with a different toolchain.

When executing
	bitbake mplayer -c clean
 
It cleans the mplayer tmp/working directory but does not touch any of the
dependent's working directories. My solution so far has been to write scripts
which clean each one of the dependencies explicitly. Is there a cleaner and/or 
a more standard method within OE? 

Regards,
Martin

BB_STAMP_POLICY = "whitelist"?

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Looking at the mplayer recipe, e.g, the DEPENDS list includes freetype.
So my hope is that the latter 'ls' command in the following sequence
would be empty but it  is not.

$ ls work/armv5te-none-linux-gnueabi | grep freetype
freetype-2.3.6-r0

$ BB_STAMP_POLICY="whitelist" bitbake mplayer -c clean

$ ls work/armv5te-none-linux-gnueabi | grep freetype
freetype-2.3.6-r0

Is BB_STAMP_POLICY in BB_ENV_*WHITE for you? If not, you need to set it 
in local.conf.
Also, BB_STAMP_POLICY works in the other direction, it will invalidate 
mplayer if you touch freetype.

I believe Martin has BB_PRESERVE_ENV=1 set, which is default in Arago for now.

Yes. The comment above this setting indicates that the whitelist
feature is broken for now.

Is there a variable setting which forces cleaning of dependencies?

FWIW I found this link but haven't tried yet which uses a script,
outside of bitbake, to parse the package for dependencies and cleans
them as instructed.
