From c75985f40a4fc9ff2217fd22d0f84c59f7cec82b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 09:21:00 +0000 Subject: bitbake: main/runqueue: Rework runall task and add runonly option The runall commandline option was confusing people. There are in fact two different behaviours people may want. a) For a given target (or set of targets) look through the task graph and run task X only if its present and would have been built. b) For a given target (or set of targets) look through the task graph and run task X if any recipe in the taskgraph has such a target even if it wasn't in the original task graph. I've decided to interpret the existing "runall" option as b), even if right now if behaves like a). For a), which is a valid use case, this patch adds a "runonly" option. With both behaviours present, I'm hoping we can then kill off the "fetchall", "checkuriall" and other tasks from OE metadata and replace them with this option. This would significantly speed up task graph processing. (Deleting the checkuriall and fetchall tasks takes "bitbake core-image-sato -g" from 22s to 8s).
