scripts/cp-noerror: Avoid a race

2014-02-02T11:23:45+00:00

Its possible something can delete $1 (since it may be empty) whilst cp-noerror is starting. Add an exception to handle this issue since if this happens, we shouldn't return an error. (From OE-Core rev: 13061ed1e1f347589d6955d5cc50a50574b00218) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

scripts/cp-noerror: Try and use hardlinks if possible

2012-10-18T11:13:46+00:00

Since we generally have lots of copies of the directories created using this tool, use hardlinks where possible. This should save a little disk space and improve performance slightly.

scripts/cp-noerror: Copy the code from shutils.copytree, update not to error if the mkdir fails

scripts/cp-noerror: Add a special copy function to fix autotools issues

2012-05-30T11:04:49+00:00

Currently we copy the aclocal directory to the build so that autotools doesn't see .m4 files disappear when its processing them. This can happen if for example, package X is being rebuilt at the same time as Y and it gets uninstalled from sstate (assuming there are no dependencies between X and Y). This code making the copy was added to avoid races but introduces a race of its own, namely that the files can disappear during the copy. This patch adds a cp-noerror script which silently ignores such errors and gives the behaviour we need in this case. It hence fixes issues which crop up for users and the autobuilder occasionally.
