Subject: [PATCH] lib/oe/package: Ensure strip breaks hardlinks
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 11:34:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421840090.1798.53.camel@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

Normally, strip preserves hardlinks which in the case of the way our hardlink
rather than copy functionality works, is a disadvantage and leads to non-deterministic
builds. This adds a move into place after the strip operation to ensure hardlinks
are broken and we bring back build determinism.
