Trying to rebuild kernel with KERNEL_ONLY

[jgauthier]

I must  have some conflicting options, or my understanding of what these options do is wrong. Can someone help?

I did a complete image build.  Now, I just want to rebuild the kernel.

 

./compile.sh CLEAN_LEVEL="make" CREATE_PATCHES="yes"  BOARD="bananapim2zero" BRANCH="legacy" RELEASE="buster" KERNEL_ONLY="yes"  KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no"

 

As I read the documentation, "make" in CLEAN_LEVEL indicates it will "make clean" in the uboot and linux sources.  KERNEL_ONLY="yes" will rebuild only the kernel.

Thank you,

Yeah it might clean the sources, but if you do not clean the debs with it and they are already present in the output directory the clean flag is worth nothing

[jgauthier]

Hm.  Okay, Thanks.  I guess it makes sense
