Since it was first implemented, devtool's source extraction (as used by
the devtool modify, extract and upgrade subcommands) ignored other recipe
dependencies - so for example if you ran devtool modify on a recipe that
fetches from svn or is compressed using xz then it would fail if those
dependencies hadn't been built first. Now that we can execute tasks in
the normal way (i.e. tinfoil.build_targets()) then we can rework it to
use that. This is slightly tricky in that the source extraction needs to
insert some logic in between tasks; luckily we can use a helper class
that conditionally adds prefuncs to make that possible.
Some side-effects / aspects of this change worth noting:
* Operations are a little slower because we have to go through the task
dependency graph generation and other startup processing. There's not
really any way to avoid this though.
* devtool extract didn't used to require a workspace, now it does
because it needs to create a temporary bbappend for the recipe. (As
with other commands the workspace be created on the fly if it doesn't
already exist.)
* I want any existing sysroot files and stamps to be left alone during
extraction since we are running the tasks off to the side, and
especially devtool extract should be able to be used without touching
these. However, this was hampered by the automatic removal process in
sstate.bbclass triggered by bb.event.ReachableStamps when the task
signatures change, thus I had to introduce a way to disable this
removal on a per-recipe basis (we still want it to function for any
dependencies that we aren't working on). To implement this I elected
to use a file written to tmp/sstate-control which gets deleted
automatically after reading so that there's less chance of stale files
affecting future sessions. I could have used a variable but this would
have needed to be whitelisted and I'd have to have poked its value in
using the setVariable command.
Fixes [YOCTO #11198].
