Subject: [PATCH] sstate.bbclass: Remove possibility of file corruption and make package writing atomic
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:47:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332456444.9740.351.camel@ted> (raw)
There is currently a race window when creating sstate packages since we don't
atomically write the files to SSTATE_DIR. This change ensures we do so by writing
to a temporary file and then doing an atomic move.
