[yocto] Image recipes in Yocto 1.4 (dylan-9.0.0)

[Brian Karcz]

Hi,

I apologize in advance if I'm not posting this to correct place or in the correct manner.

I have a question regarding the shared state code optimizations in yocto 1.4. I'm in the process of upgrading one of our projects from Edison (6.0) to Dylan (9.0.0) and am running into an issue with our existing image recipe.

The recipe brings in files from a "files" directory in the image area. It also adds an image preprocess command that takes action on those files in the work area. After reading the version 1.4 migration guidelines and examining both the old and new builds, it looks like the do_unpack task has been optimized out of the way images are built in the new release. The files listed in the SRC_URI variable don't get populated in the work directory, and actions taken in the image preprocess command fail.

Is there a way to stop this optimization and have the image build populate the work directory as it has in the past?

Thank you,
Brian
