[Buildroot] [Bug 4706] New: Removing .stamp_target_installed does not trigger reinstall libraries

           Summary: Removing .stamp_target_installed does not trigger
                    reinstall libraries
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2010.08
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: buildroot at bluespirit.la
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


I've replaced content in the target_skeleton, and thus wanted to rebuild the
rootfs.tar. I did the following:

1) rm -rf target
2) rm -rf build/.root
3) rm -rf `find build -name "\.stamp_target_installed"
4) make

On the device I got a "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.". The problem
was that only when removing .stamp_staging_installed and
stamps/ext-toolchain-installed also the libs on the target were installed.

It would be a great help, that removing all ".stamp_target_installed" and
".root" would create a bootable target filesystem.

This is not a bug: this feature doesn't exist and is not supported currently.
I'm moving the bug to enhancement.

I'm closing this bug as Wontfix, for the following reasons:
- buildroot aims at being clear and simple, and the behavior desired by the
submitter is not 'simple'.
- we have other mechanisms in place to modify the target without touching the
skeleton.


Please have a look at the post-build and rootfs-overlay mechanisms:

I think this bug should be marked as FIXED instead of WONTFIX.
build/toolchain-external-undefined/.stamp_target_installed is now used instead
of stamps/ext-toolchain-installed. As far as I understand, it is behavior asked
by submitter.
