16 | When determining what parts of the system need to be built, | ||
17 | BitBake works on a per-task basis rather than a per-recipe | ||
18 | basis. | ||
19 | You might wonder why using a per-task basis is preferred over | ||
20 | a per-recipe basis. | ||
21 | To help explain, consider having the IPK packaging backend | ||
22 | enabled and then switching to DEB. | ||
23 | In this case, the | ||
24 | <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/ref-tasks-install.html" target="_self"><code class="filename">do_install</code></a> | ||
25 | and | ||
26 | <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/ref-tasks-package.html" target="_self"><code class="filename">do_package</code></a> | ||
27 | task outputs are still valid. | ||
28 | However, with a per-recipe approach, the build would not | ||
29 | include the <code class="filename">.deb</code> files. | ||
30 | Consequently, you would have to invalidate the whole build and | ||
31 | rerun it. | ||
32 | Rerunning everything is not the best solution. | ||
33 | Also, in this case, the core must be "taught" much about | ||
34 | specific tasks. | ||
35 | This methodology does not scale well and does not allow users | ||
36 | to easily add new tasks in layers or as external recipes | ||
37 | without touching the packaged-staging core. | ||
