bitbake: pause build ?
Hi,
While in the process of compiling a large image I had to do some cpu/mem intensive stuff on the build machine. Usually I would just cancel the build, letting the running tasks finish and then start the build again when done. This works well but the downside is that unnecessary log data will show and that the metadata will have to be parsed again when you start over.
So I thought why not add a 'pause mode' to bitbake ?
Best,
Lukas

What stops you from stopping bitbake with CTRL+Z and getting it back in foreground with fg after you finished the other things you want to do.
