Fetch only using --runall=fetch

[Christian Leeb]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a kas-container build which does only a fetch

In bitbake I do bitbake <targets> --runall=fetch 

in KAS I tried

scripts/kas-container build --runtime-args '--runall=fetch' <kas config> but it seems that --runall=fetch is ignored. Instead all targets are built.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, 

Chris

kas-container build ... -- --runall=fetch

should work. All args after the '--' are forwarded to bitbake.
Documentation for that is a bit hidden in [1]

Thanks a lot, Jan. That worked.

There seems to also a KAS_EXTRA_BITBAKE_ARGS processed in scripts/kas-container but I did not find it in the documentation 

So, I could do a scripts/kas-container build --runtime-args '-e KAS_EXTRA_BITBAKE_ARGS=--runall=fetch' <kas config>

I did not it work however: -'-runall=fetch' did not appear on the command line

BR, Chris

KAS_EXTRA_BITBAKE_ARGS is an internal variable of kas-container (and it
is a counter, see the script).

And for --runtime-args: "Additional arguments to pass to the *container
runtime* for running the build." And container runtime != bitbake. :)
