[oe] packaged staging fails in do_deploy for kernel

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

I decided to give packaged staging a try.
(more or less) following the instructions on
http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2008/07/01/packaged-staging-and-what-it-gives/

distribution angstrom (dev head)
machine: beagleboard.

I set the DEPLOY_DIR_PSTAGE to outside tmp. (packaged-staging is
already inherited by default in Angstrom).

rm tmp; bitbake console-image
great, few hours later everything is rebuild. now the final proof.
mv tmp tmp.bak; bitbake console-image

And lo-and-behold things are fetched from pstage.
Until suddenly after 20 minutes:

NOTE: Running task 2352 of 2433 (ID: 538,
/home/frans/oe/openembedded/recipes/linux/linux-omap_2.6.29.bb,
do_deploy)
ERROR: function do_deploy failed

Bummer.

Log file for deploy has just a single line: install: cannot stat
`arch/arm/boot/uImage': No such file or directory
There is also a log.staging_helper.11952 but that one is empty.
and there is a dir git adjacent to temp in the work dir which is also empty.


The uImage file exists in staging:
staging/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel/arch/arm/boot/uImage
staging/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel/arch/arm/boot/.uImage.cmd
staging/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel/uImage

and do_deploy says:
do_deploy() {
        install -d /home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard
        install -m 0644 arch/arm/boot/uImage
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard/uImage-2.6.29-r51-beagleboard.bin
        package_stagefile_shell
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard/uImage-2.6.29-r51-beagleboard.bin

        if [ -d
"/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap-2.6.29-r51/package/lib"
]; then
                fakeroot tar -cvzf
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard/modules-2.6.29-r51-beagleboard.tgz
-C /home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap-2.6.29-r51/package
lib
        fi

        cd /home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard
        rm -f uImage-beagleboard.bin
        ln -sf uImage-2.6.29-r51-beagleboard.bin uImage-beagleboard.bin
        package_stagefile_shell
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard/uImage-beagleboard.bin

}


which of course fails on the install -m as  $arch/arm/boot/uImage does
not exist in work

the code is from kernel.bbclass.

do_deploy() {
        install -d ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}
        install -m 0644 ${KERNEL_OUTPUT}
${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.bin
        package_stagefile_shell
${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.bin

        if [ -d "${PKGD}/lib" ]; then
                fakeroot tar -cvzf
${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${MODULES_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.tgz -C ${PKGD} lib
        fi

        cd ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}
        rm -f ${KERNEL_IMAGE_SYMLINK_NAME}.bin
        ln -sf ${KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.bin ${KERNEL_IMAGE_SYMLINK_NAME}.bin
        package_stagefile_shell
${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${KERNEL_IMAGE_SYMLINK_NAME}.bin
}

Not really an idea how to fix this. Any expert with an opinion?

next steps:
after that I did a bitbake -cclean virtual/kernel and got several
messages of the type:
 * Package staging-strace-armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi version
4.5.14-r9 has no architecture specified, defaulting to i686-linux.
which also seem odd to me.

after cleaning the kernel I tried to rebuild console-image. The kernel
compiles but the system fails when building the rootfs:

>From work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/console-image-1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.28400
 * Cannot find package task-base.
 * Cannot find package psplash-angstrom.
 * Cannot find package psplash-zap.
 * Cannot find package task-base-extended.

 * Cannot find package sysvinit-pidof.
 * Cannot find package tinylogin.
 * Cannot find package opkg-nogpg-nocurl.
 * Cannot find package angstrom-feed-configs.
 * Cannot find package opkg-collateral.

task-base did run staging-helper. I did not dig into the others

Did a bitbake -cclean for the packages listed above, but got new failures.
See below.

That is where I gave up. Suggestions are welcome!
