[PATCH 1/1] A script to clean obsolete sstate cache files

[Robert Yang]

There would be many obsolete cache files in the SSTATE_DIR after several
builds, this script can remove the obsolete one for a pkg, only leave
the up to date one.

Here is the help text:

sstate-cache-management.sh <OPTION>

Options:
  --help, -h
        Display this help and exit.

  --cache-dir=<sstate cache dir>
        Specify sstate cache directory, will use the environment
        variable SSTATE_CACHE_DIR if it is not specified.

  --remove-duplicated
        Remove the duplicated sstate cache files of one package, only
        the newest one would be kept.

;-)

Its not hard to manipulate the patches around from one tree to the
other.

That's good to know, so why wasn't it manipulated to work on oe-core when being sent to the oe-core list?

That's awesome. I was looking for a script for this.

Can you please resend it based on oe-core? I'll give it a good test.

Or why can't people just cherry-pick the patch in, or apply the patch
manually? The latter is no different to people who just supply the
patches manually the the list with no corresponding git tree after all.

Personally, I'm too lazy for that. If someone sends a pull request to oe-core I kinda assume it's for oe-core. I tried to pull it in for testing and it blew up.

Because this mean to have and maintain a full clone of the repository
and I don't want and I won't do that.

OE-Core is the base, the mailing list is based on it so it is expected
of it being based on OE-Core.

Except here we are talking about a single patch that adds a single file, which 
is easily downloadable from the web interface. If it were more complicated I 
could understand the fuss, but right now this is almost ridiculous.

It doesn't seem that easy; it seems Koen tried to apply it and it has failed.

Besides, Robert didn't complain about people asking it to be resend.
Who is complaining is Richard and I am just justifying the reasoning
why it is more the logical to expect it to be done based on OE-Core.

Applying the patch manually (either with "git am" or directly with
"patch") doesn't require you to have a copy of poky on hand.  That
doesn't seem like such a hardship, particularly given that the patch in
question here is just creating a single new file and doesn't touch any
existing content at all.

So I think its reasonable for people to indicate which tree the pull
request is based off and I'll suggest people do this in future.

If its not indicated, oe-core is a reasonable assumption but providing a
poky tree for convenience shouldn't cause quite as much friction as it
does since it is better than no tree at all and some of us can manage
them fine.

I fully disagree.

This is an OE-Core mailing list so it is expected to have patches here
based on OE-Core mailing list.

Mistakes are also expected to happen, as just did, and it is just a
matter of resending it to fix it. Relaxing it will make the whole
testing cycle a nightmare for all people involved in OE-Core.

In this case, Richard is presenting the viewpoint he's heard expressed
by a number of people in private but who don't want to rock the boat on
the mailing list. I'd like to see the mailing list be a friendly place
where people don't get flamed for posting patches. Some of the recent
responses are less than friendly and I think its reasonable to try and
resolve this.

I'm going to propose that if trees are poky based, the pull request
should indicate this. People can then act accordingly. No indication
means its oe-core derived.

Cheers,

Richard

If you look at *my* first reply to this thread I just asked him to
resend it based on OE-Core - as he already did - so I could give it a
test. This seemed quite friendly from my POV and he didn't complain.

If people dislike it, it is better if they show up and don't hide behind you.

You'll also notice I directed my comments to Koen's reply, not yours.

Since we're on the subject though, I do believe there is marginal value
in asking someone to rebase a single patch you could have just as easily
downloaded and applied yourself. I am respectful and protective of
people's time and in this case I think there are better ways things
could have been handled.

Overall though my main objective was to avoid these "Please rebase on
OE-Core????!!!!?" type messages and I think we've figured out a way to
do that.

> If people dislike it, it is better if they show up and don't hide behind you.

We have many different people involved with the project with different
personalities and cultural backgrounds. Open source projects should be
as open, inclusive and friendly as possible in my view. We do have some
participants who get put off by the form of some of the replies on list
and would prefer not to get involved in what could potentially become
"flame war" type discussions. I'd even personally like to avoid them to
as they kill my productivity but sadly my role means I cannot.

I am happy to listen to people's concerns and do what I can to improve
things where I see opportunities. I only received comments from one
other person about this specific thread and they have responded on list.
I have received many different comments on the general topic from
previous similar threads though so I do have an idea of some people's
feelings on this topic. I happen to have chosen this moment in time to
try and resolve the issue. I don't see an problem in any of these
things.

Cheers,

Richard
