Session
Every Yocto developer has experienced it: a minor change in a recipe triggers a bunch of other recipes to be rebuilt. What if we could prevent other recipes from being rebuilt each time? The Yocto community has been wanting a solution for this for years, and now it’s here! Enter bblock. With bblock, you can lock recipes - and even a single task inside a recipe - to prevent them from being rebuilt. Knowing how to use bblock will help you save a lot of development time in all your Yocto based projects!
