Using "--ignore-times" is fine with me - but the problem still exists. You added the option to the skeleton install's rsync, but not to the overlay install's rsync, around line 551 of Makefile. (So, you can still demonstrate the issue using the AAA/BBB overlays example that I mentioned in my original submittal.) Can you add the --ignore-times to the second rsync? Danomi -

Argh, crap - I forgot the 2nd instance when I fixed up the merge conflict. I'll fix it now.

If two files with the same relative paths exist in multiple overlay skeletons, and they have the same modification time and size, then rsync might not copy the later file on top of the earlier file. This patch fixes this by adding the -I option to the rsync commands used in the overlay skeleton file installations. ("man rsync" indicates that this option turns off the file-size/mod-date "quick check" behavior, causing all files to be updated - more like the cp commands that we had originally.) Signed-off-by: Danomi Manchego <danomimanchego123@gmail.com> --- Test scenario: add overlay dirs to configuration, such as: BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="$(TOPDIR)/AAA $(TOPDIR)/BBB" Now make a file in both dirs, one at a time, and make: $ mkdir -p AAA/etc BBB/etc $ echo AAA > AAA/etc/test.txt $ echo BBB > BBB/etc/test.txt $ make The file in target is the file from the last overlay skeleton, as expected: $ cat output/target/etc/test.txt BBB Now use touch to make the dates on both files the same, delete the file in TARGET_DIR, and make again. The result is that the file from the first skeleton gets into target, contrary to the expected result: $ touch AAA/etc/test.txt BBB/etc/test.txt $ rm output/target/etc/test.txt $ make $ cat output/target/etc/test.txt AAA Adding the -I to the rsync fixes this. --- Makefile | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
