If -f is specified, force dependent tasks to be re-run next time. This works by changing the force behaviour so that instead of deleting the task's stamp, we write a "taint" file into the stamps directory, which will alter the taskhash randomly and thus trigger the task to re-run next time we evaluate whether or not that should be done as well as influencing the taskhashes of any dependent tasks so that they are similarly re-triggered. As a bonus because we write this file as <stamp file name>.taskname.taint, the existing code which deletes the stamp files in OE's do_clean will already handle removing it. This means you can now do the following: bitbake somepackage [ change the source code in the package's WORKDIR ] bitbake -c compile -f somepackage bitbake somepackage and the result will be that all of the tasks that depend on do_compile (do_install, do_package, etc.) will be re-run in the last step. Note that to operate in the manner described above you need full hashing enabled (i.e. BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER must be set to a signature handler that inherits from BasicHash). If this is not the case, -f will just delete the stamp for the specified task as it did before. This fix is required for [YOCTO #2615] and [YOCTO #2256].

Poky ==== Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project. The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
