Re: how to solve the error that basehash value changed from 'xxx' to 'aaaa' ?

Byron,

What modification did you put into the os-release recipe?  It would help 
us help you if you put that in your email.


Are you adding the build date to the generated os-release file?  If so, 
be aware that might cause the issues with the shared state cache you are 
experiencing.  Also be aware this practice wrecks reproducible builds.

A better way to get the same effect might be to create a git tag with 
the information you want to appear in the generated os-release file.  
When you buld with this tag is then picked up by the OpenBMC 
meta-phosphor os-release.bbappend (via `git describe`) and included in 
the genersted os-release file as the BUILD_ID.  See:
https://github.com/ibm-openbmc/openbmc/blob/d1c59b7a36c10c18838c07af10b18080174cd61d/meta-phosphor/recipes-core/os-release/os-release.bbappend
(But I have not tried that.)

A way to work around the hash change is to add a line to your recipe 
like: PR[vardepsxeclude]="DATETIME"

My apologies for top posting -- my email reader was not quoting the 
message properly, so I cut/pasted it below.

Thank you！
I execute the recommended command on the console and it didn't work.
