Cover letter [Buildroot] [RFC v4 00/16] Add per-package staging feature
Quoted 12 lines · Fabio Porcedda

Hi all,
this patch set aims to improve build reproducibility by using a per-package staging directory.
Also this feature aims to enable the top-level parallel make.

This patch set is available at:
https://github.com/fabio-porcedda/buildroot/tree/pps-v4

Every package instead of installing the files in the shared staging directory (STAGING_DIR) install all files in a subdirectory of the STAGINGPKG_DIR.

TODO:
- use the toolchaing wrapper even for the internal toolchain
- rebase over master (this patch set is based on 2015.05-161-gca5f11e).
- more testing (tested only for arm target).

[snip]

Hi Fabio,

Now that we have a toolchain wrapper for the internal toolchain, would you care
to rebase this series and use the toolchain wrapper for pps support?

Thomas commented that there should also be a per-package host directory, but
after some discussion here at the BR developer meeting we decided that we could start with just a per-package staging and see how far we get. We anyway don't have complete reproducibility at the moment, since the build of host packages depends on what is installed on the system.

Note that we are really excited about the possibilities of per-package staging
and top-level parallel build, so we hope you'll continue working on it.

I've marked this series as Changes Requested in patchwork.

Regards,
Arnout
