[Angstrom-devel] packed staging - how to use (in practise) it with angstrom building

[Michal Panczyk]

Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone uses packed-staging here at angstrom ...
Couple of days ago I saw entry at Marcin's blog about packed-staging
advantages  (http://blog.haerwu.biz/2008/07/01/packaged-staging-and-what-it-gives/)
- seems it saves a lot of time for people doing lot of rebuilds.
Marcin mentions about poky - Koen in comments says that this feature
was implemented to angstrom long time ago. How to use it with angstrom
?

I would like to move the pstage dir out of oe dir - I made following
entries in my local.conf:
TMPDIR = "/home/extra/oe_tmp/"
DEPLOY_DIR = "/home/extra/deploy"  # To move whole deploy dir out of OE tmpdir
DEPLOY_DIR_PSTAGE = "/home/extra/build/pstage/" # a copy of entry at
Marcins blog

The INHERIT += "packaged-staging" is included in the
angstrom-2008.1.conf that I am using.

After the build the structure looks like :
# ls  /home/extra/oe_tmp/
abi_version  cache  checksums.ini  cross  deploy  rootfs  saved_tmpdir
 staging  stamps  usr  work
#  ls  /home/extra/oe_tmp/deploy/glibc/
images  ipk  pstage

So not only the pstage dir is not in the place I wanted but also the
deploy dir. All the pstage files are in the
/home/extra/oe_tmp/deploy/{glibc,ulibc}/pstage/  dir.

Anything I am missing ? Does anyone else use this feature ?
