Subject: [PATCH] kernel.bbclass: keep the sources when do_symlink_kernsrc reruns
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 18:55:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114185527.6-1-bbnpreetsingh@gmail.com> (raw)
With S outside STAGING_KERNEL_DIR, a second do_symlink_kernsrc without
do_unpack deletes the sources and leaves STAGING_KERNEL_DIR as a link
to itself:
do_kernel_checkout: [Errno 17] File exists: '.../linux-yocto-7.2.13+git'
S is already a symlink to STAGING_KERNEL_DIR by then. Skip the move
when the two resolve to the same directory.
[YOCTO #15325]
