* kernel, license, sstate, rootfs.py: Remove deploy directory READMEMike Crowe2017-03-011-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It isn't clear that the README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt file in the deploy directory warrants the complexity it brings elsewhere. Let's just remove it entirely. In particular, if two do_image_complete tasks run in parallel they risk both trying to put their image into ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE} at the same time. Both will contain a README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt file. In theory this should be safe because "cp -alf" will just cause one to overwrite the other. Unfortunately, coreutils cp also has a race[1] which means that if one copy creates the file at just the wrong point the other will fail with: cp: cannot create hard link ‘..../tmp-glibc/deploy/images/pantera/README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_D.txt’ to +‘..../tmp-glibc/work/rage_against-oe-linux-gnueabi/my-own-image/1.0-r0/deploy-my-own-image-complete/README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt’: File exists [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25680 (From OE-Core rev: 71e9e88847d7000781642ea6187ebd8f40dfdcfe) Signed-off-by: Mike Crowe <mac@mcrowe.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
* image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: create warning file about deleting deploydir ↵Paul Eggleton2011-08-191-0/+8
files New users sometimes delete files in tmp/deploy/images assuming they will be re-created just by re-running the build, and then are confused when this doesn't work. To discourage people from doing this, create a file called README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt in tmp/deploy/images containing an explanation of what needs to be done to re-create files there. Fixes [YOCTO #1315] and [YOCTO #1346].
