[yocto] Q: Kernel SCC files: shouldn't a changed patch trigger a rebuild?

[Erwin Rieger]

Hello list,

i have written a kernel recipe derived from linux-yocto-custom. The
SRC_URI includes a SCC file that in turn includes a kernel patch.

First of all, this works as expected, the patch is applied to the kernel
source and my custom kernel is built.

But the kernel is NOT rebuilt if i modify the kernel patch (without
touching the SCC file). In other words: changed files that are directly
named in the SRC_URI variable trigger a rebuild, but indirectly included
changed input files (through a SCC file) do not.

Is this the intended behaviour?


PS: 
I can provide more info and my test files if needed.
