Build History Folder

Build History Folder

Hi,

I want to capture build history while building an image and I have done the
following settings in conf/local.conf file.

     INHERIT += "buildhistory"
     BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT = "1"

as suggested in
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#maintaining-build-output-quality

But, the problem is buildhistory/images folder is being created but
*buildhistory/packages*

folder is *not being created*. Any kind of suggestions on this issue
would be helpful.

maybe a dumb question... but have you actually built any package? if a
package is re-used from sstate, then it's not built, and no statistics
are generated.

This is true of 1.5 and older, but in 1.6, packages whose contents are 
restored from shared state *will* be captured in buildhistory. (However, if 
you built an image and then afterwards enabled buildhistory and built the 
image again, you wouldn't have any package information collected.)

Cheers,
Paul

Thank you Paul,

I am new to yocto. I am trying to build the image from scratch again and
now the package folder is generated.
Thanks for the response.
