Just to add a bit more context to this, the bigger impact will be on CI setups
including our autobuilder since "bitbake XXX" will no longer do quite what it
did before. I'm starting to think we should move to the new behaviour and apapt
the CI targets as/where needed.

I have a build running on the autobuilder to see what impact this has on the
automated tests. I'd welcome other people's thoughts on this.

FWIW we have removed a lot of these recursive dependencies, this one is one of
the few left on do_build but it has been left as it has the biggest user visible
impact.

Cheers,

Richard

You write that this is a controversial change with big user visible impact.
At the same time you write that we do not need the removed dependencies.
What I don't see in your commit message, nor in the follow up mail, is _what_ 
the impact actually is. What will I no longer get when I run `bitbake <image>`?

For this change, "bitbake <image>" will no longer generate packages you're not
using. So for example if ipk is you main format but you've enabled deb and rpm
as well, only the ipk will be generated after this whilst before, the others
would too. That may be a big deal for some CI systems, hopefully less so in real
world use.

The patch does need a fix highlighted in autobuilder testing so I'll send v2
soon.

Richard

Does this mean that technically PACKAGE_CLASSES will basically only ever
make Bitbake use the first one in the list and do nothing with the
others?

No, "bitbake <recipe>" would build each of the package formats, as would
"bitbake world".

This is good, since it can be used to catch packaging issues when not 
all packages formats are getting built.  Will this be the default for 
the Autobuilder?  That would ensure packaging issues are caught?

The --runall should be required for anyone doing updates to ensure that 
all package formats are being generated correctly for the update.

In this context, "bitbake XXX --runall build" would be equivalent to the current
"bitbake XXX".

Faster builds in the common cases seems like a great idea!

If someone really needs the old behavior, is there a mechanism to do
the equivalent to what it was doing?
