[bitbake-devel] Making a noexec task executable again

[Daniel Lazzari]

I ran across an interesting challenge today. One of our old image recipes is being ported into denzil and needs to fetch a file to do some whitelist processing. Unfortunately, in denzil, the image class has

do_fetch[noexec] = "1"

which stops the fetch task from running. How can I get it to run again? I tried

do_fetch[noexec] = "0"

and

do_fetch[noexec] = ""

to no avail.
