Use RM_WORK_WHITELIST to inhibit rm_work per recipe. In this way,
one can use rm_work for the most of the recipes but still keep the
work area for the recipe(s) one is working on.
As an example, the following settings in local.conf will inhibit
rm_work for icu-native, icu and busybox.
INHERIT += "rm_work"
RM_WORK_WHITELIST += "icu-native icu busybox"
If we comment out the RM_WORK_WHITELIST line and do a rebuild, the
working area of these recipes will be cleaned up.

This is a great feature, but I just looked at it and realised that the term
"whitelist" isn't really correct - this is more of a blacklist.
The question is does it matter? If so we should probably change it now before
it becomes too hard to change...
Cheers,
Paul

A variable called WHITELIST that is actually a blacklist should be
changed asap before we make a release, imho.

This doesn't seem (at the risk of invoking an unintended metaphor)
entirely black or white. Maybe it should just be "RM_WORK_EXCEPTIONS"
or something.
Of course, you can get the same effect in your distro configuration by
saying:
RM_WORK = "rm_work"
RM_WORK_pn-icu-native = ""
INHERIT += "${RM_WORK}"
so I must admit to being slightly ambivalent about whether the extra
syntactic sugar is all that valuable. And then again you can always use
rm_old_work instead. :-)

"exception" has another meaning to my mind. I've sent out a patch to change it
to RM_WORK_EXCLUDE.

True, that works; I think having an explicit variable makes it easier to
understand what's going on though and is a little harder to typo and have your
work removed when you didn't want it to be ;)
> And then again you can always use rm_old_work instead. :-)
I'm sure this has come up before, but is rm_old_work something we ought to
have in OE-Core?
Cheers,
Paul

I got similar question yesterday about BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST:
'And why is it called "WHITELIST"? Shouldn't things that are excluded be
in a "BLACKLIST"?'
Maybe term WHITELIST isn't correct in both of them, at least they are
consistent as it is now :).

You may well be right... BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST has been around for so long
though that I don't think we could consider changing it.

Obviously it's not for me to say, but I suspect probably not. It
requires ${WORKDIR} to follow a particular pattern, which not everybody
will necessarily want, and I don't think you could really argue that it
represents "core" functionality either.

That pattern is now default in oe-core:

I think that in some cases it's more useful then rm_work.
IMHO only missing part is good documentation (or better name) describing
rm_work/rm_work_old difference:
1) rm_work is much better for builds in tmpfs
2) rm_work_old is better then rm_work if you have enough space to keep
1 WORKDIR for each component you're building
