[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] bb.build: use relative log links, not absolute

[Christopher Larson]

From: Christopher Larson <chris_larson at mentor.com>

Using symlinks to absolute paths isn't gaining us anything, and can cause
problems in situations such as automated build systems when they try to
resolve the link, depending on the mechanism used to pull the build artifacts
(e.g. nfs).
