[master][zeus][PATCH 1/3] knotty: Make the bb.command.CommandExit event terminate bitbake

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

This matches the other bb.command.Command* events and without it,
running `bitbake --revisions-changed` will hang indefinitely if there
are changed revisions.

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

This seems to have been broken for a very long time. Now it also works
regardless of BB_SRCREV_POLICY.

[master][zeus][PATCH 3/3] fetch2: Allow ${AUTOREV} to be used when BB_SRCREV_POLICY is "cache"

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

Mark any keys used to cache the srcrevs for a recipe as "dontcache" if
BB_DONT_CACHE is set for the recipe. Remove any such keys upon the
next bitbake run even if BB_SRCREV_POLICY is set to "cache". This will
make sure the srcrev is updated as expected if ${AUTOREV} is used.

Rather than blindly reverting, can’t we update the documentation instead? If you use ${AUTOREV} you obviously do it because you always want the latest revision.

Before this change, using ${AUTOREV} in combination with BB_SRCREV_POLICY = “cache” didn’t work, which also wasn’t documented.

It could be interpreted also that cache also caches AUTOREVs
this will break downstream projects. Its equivalent of ABI change,

Well, obviously ${AUTOREV} works with BB_SRCREV_POLICY = "clear". But 
BB_SRCREV_POLICY is a distro configuration and it is not possible to override 
it per recipe. Which means that if it is set to "cache", it is not possible 
to use ${AUTOREV}. This is not documented, and to the developers it will look 
as if it is working, since it fetches the very first time the recipe is built.
But there will be no updates, so it is as useful as setting SRCREV = "master" 
(which some of our developers also have tried before being educated to how 
BitBake works)...

I fail to see how it will break stuff as it was not possible to use ${AUTOREV} 
before in a meaningful way together with BB_SRCREV_POLICY = "cache".

One of the use cases this was used for was in an autobuilder
environment where a given build directory could have multiple bitbake
invocations against it and have the same src revs. Something like:

MACHINE=A bitbake X
MACHINE=B bitbake X
MACHINE=C bitbake X

and have the same revision of some AUTOREV recipe built for this
session/build directory.

BB_SRCREV_POLICY is quite an old piece of code and its design has
issues. It should really be changed to work per recipe (and use
something other than persist db but that is another story).

It gives a behaviour people asked for and need under certain scenarios.
I appreciate that isn't yours. I should not have merged the patch as it
breaks behaviour that people do use and I misunderstood what the patch
was doing :(.

The question is where from here, technically a revert is justified but
I do understand the per recipe configuration issue.

Cheers,

Richard

Right, I agree lets keep it as it is.

This differentiates it from the other option or clear where you'd get

Please backport the three patches in this set to Zeus now that they have 
been integrated to master.
