When using Hob in Yocto Project, I found a issue when deleting layers. I
think I ever raised this problem before.

Let me briefly introduce how layer removal works in Hob. When user
changes a layer, it will following the below steps 
1) init the cooker.
2) set new layers to cooker.
3) parse configuration files.
4) get available machines, distros, SDKs, etc.

As we know, if we source oe-init-build-env in Yocto project environment,
we will have DISTRO="poky" set in local.conf by default, where the
"poky" DISTRO comes from the meta-yocto layer. If user deletes
meta-yocto in Hob, and then error will happen when bitbake parsing the
local.conf, since it could not find where the "poky" DISTRO is defined.

Even if we are able to successfully removed the meta-yocto layer by
removing the DISTRO definition in local.conf, system will report another
issue that:

Your configuration is using stamp files including the sstate hash but
your build directory was built with stamp files that do not include
this.
To continue, either rebuild or switch back to the OEBasic signature
handler with BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER = 'OEBasic'.

This is because BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER = "OEBasic" is also defined in
meta-yocto layer (poky.conf).


So it seems that in certain environment (e.x, Yocto Project), certain
layer (e.x, meta-yocto) should not be removed? 

Or any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Dongxiao

Meta-yocto is using OEBasicHash as default signature handler(ABI_VERSION=8, see ${TMPDIR}/abi_version), while oe-core is still using the OEBasic(ABI_VERSION=7). This means the oe-core can not reuse the stamp files generated by meta-yocto.

Could we workaround the incompatibility by setting BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER 
= "OEBasic" somewhere in meta-hob?

Hi all,

Do we have enough information to make a decision about the meta-yocto
layer? I don't understand all the technical details, but I am inclined to
make it non-deletable in Hob (i.e. it is not possible to delete this layer
in Hob).

What do you think?

The layer is removable in Hob, since many people are just using oe-core
without meta-yocto layer.

I have patches to solve the deletion of meta-yocto layer, and will send
it out soon.

Great! Care to tell us a bit about it, or will we have to hold our breath

bad idea. Unless you intend to shackle hob to yocto. Is that the intention ?

We don't want to tie hob to meta-yocto, no. The solution to this problem is to 
have Hob understand when removing a layer is removing the DISTRO selection 
that a user currently has made and warning them about it; if they respond in 
affirmative then DISTRO can be set to empty (or we can allow them to select an 
alternative, perhaps - something for the designers to consider). Fortunately 
since DISTRO points directly to a file in conf/distro/ the detection part is 
pretty easy to implement.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks, Paul. What happens if the DISTRO is set to empty? Will the image
build?
