Subject: possibly silly question related to addtask and dependencies
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 08:05:13 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <854ffc30-e63b-8a62-56b3-b3bf1930bf0b@crashcourse.ca> (raw)
poring over kernel-related tasks and i see this snippet in
kernel-yocto.bbclass:
addtask kernel_metadata after do_validate_branches do_unpack before do_patch
do_kernel_metadata[depends] = "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot"
do_validate_branches[depends] = "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot"
both of the kernel_metadata and validate_branches tasks have a
dependency of "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot", but since:
"addtask kernel_metadata after do_validate_branches ..."
is that dependency for kernel_metadata necessary? clearly, it doesn't
hurt but, technically, is it superfluous?
